"I am strongly in favour of hydraulic removal of shale gas," Jacob Rees-Mogg on tonight's #Peston

He's been banging on about this for years

In September 2022 Rees-Mogg said, “if we’re sitting on tons of gas, that seems quite an interesting opportunity.

@Geri OK I suggest we start fracking in his back garden, I doubt he's secured the mineral rights

Let's see how interesting he finds that

@staringatclouds @Geri It will be great when the fracking quakes drop his country pile and all his offspring into a crumbling pile of dust: exactly what he deserves.

@HarriettMB @staringatclouds it's a listed building

Can't we just shake HIM until his trousers fall down or his teeth fall out. Xx

@Geri @staringatclouds I don’t care if it’s listed. Any fracking should start under the inhabited properties of its proponents. The risks and rewards are their problem. JRM would be a full on NIMBY about the reality of fracking.
