Ummm...what? He and his wife have a net worth of over 100 million (if not more) and you think as a basic amount, a salary of 75 000 is enough for him to live on??

You Remainers need to stop looking at how the 'rich' will be worse off under Brexit . . they'll always come out in pocket.

The rich will be absolutely fine, whichever way.
It will (and has always) be the poor that suffer.
Every. Single. Time.

The Torygraph? (Or do you mean the Telegraph?)

If Jacob William Rees-Mogg (MP) is a firm believer in Brexit and believes UK will be successful in future, he should stop working for his own company and withdraw all money/interest in disgust surely ?! He won't because he knows setting up an Investment within the EU protects his money and that's what counts. He's got to have something to fall back when Brexit reality hits the rest of us !

If anything, it is the other way round. If he pulled out all his money (whatever is his and whatever is not, I dunno) then everyone would say "see, without being a member of the EU it is more costly to invest in Europe".
Him keeping his money there is him putting his money where his mouth is - I think. (Though it may have nothing to do with him, like Mick elaborated).

He could maybe join his fellow Brexit disciple Lord Lawson, who has applied for residency in France ! - another true believer who knows what's good for the rest of us, and what's good for them....

To be fair though, at no point did any of the leave folks say that every leave voter should stay in the UK though. They said leaving the EU was best for the UK, not that them staying in the UK was best for
them. Living in France may be what is best for Lawson.
I didn't think he did a good job as chancellor, don't agree with him on Europe but he is free to go live where he wants. (And I would kind of like his daughter to come cook for me some day, too).
