So he borrowed his own money from his own company and paid it back to himself with interest

FFS how many threads are on this forum alone about MPs of all colours raping the system for their owns gains.
To try and make this subject just about Tory MPs is laughable, and pretty pathetic.

Just this one. Also it started with one Tory(in the title) but has grown to include others from all parties.

I asked you a question (hence the question mark). Has he broken any rules?
Feel free to ignore this question with the usual diversionary tactics if you can’t possibly comment. I’ll understand.

Comment…
From that bastion of the left of the Conservative Party, the Daily Mail…
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...eap-loans.html

Jacob Rees-Mogg may have broken rules by 'not declaring £6million in cheap loans from his Cayman Islands-linked company'
J acob Rees-Mogg may have breached parliamentary rules by not declaring £6 million in personal loans from his Cayman Islands-linked company, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
He is the first Cabinet Minister to be dragged into the row over MPs’ outside interests, and led the Government’s botched attempt to soften parliamentary sleaze rules.
The Leader of the Commons borrowed up to £2.94 million a year in ‘director’s loans’ from his UK-based Saliston Ltd between 2018 and 2020.
Parliamentary rules require MPs to be ‘open and frank in drawing attention to any relevant interest’.

Remember the rules are set and maintained by those who support the ultra wealthy paying little or no tax.
The "well, they followed the rules" trope has no merit as a rationale.

Especially when they try to change the rules to benefit themselves further...

To benefit MPs on all sides of the house actually. All they want to do is provide a right of appeal within the disciplinary process. It’s no big deal.
I’d have though liberal types such as your good self would applaud that as ‘the right thing to do’ in the name of justice.
Silly me.

You’re absolutely right. But seeing as only one side has the power to govern the UK perhaps we should be focussing on them right now?
You know, just a thought.

The right thing to do would have been to have resigned in shame saving embarrassing the Government further by getting Boris to whip them to bail him out.

Crazy thing is if he'd just manned up at the start he'd have only got a week's suspension, all this bs about an appeals process when if he hadn't been such a dopey pawn it would have amounted to a week off

Maybe that's exactly what he should have done.
However, once again, a right of appeal isn't a 'bail out'.
