Jacob Rees-Mogg is on #Peston and is talking about the virtues of #Fracking

AGAIN

​Financial Backing: Throughout his political career, Rees-Mogg received significant donations (around £22,000) from billionaire hedge fund manager Robin Crispin Odey. Odey's funds have historically held massive investments in oil, gas, and fossil fuel assets.

​Business Ties: Rees-Mogg was a co-founder of Somerset Capital Management, an investment firm that managed hundreds of millions of dollars in global fossil fuel investments, including coal and oil companies.

​Political Actions: During his time as Energy Secretary under Liz Truss in 2022, Rees-Mogg heavily championed the industry. He successfully, though briefly, lifted the UK's ban on fracking and actively explored ways to bypass environmental and public scrutiny to speed up shale gas extraction
