LBC host James O’Brien revisited an old interview Tuesday with Brexiteer Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who denied leaving the European Union would impact Northern Eire’s peace settlement, blasting the “bizarre new television stations” like GB News as designed to “keep these lies alive.”

O’Brien played a clip from five yr outdated interview with Rees-Mogg by which they mentioned where Brexit negotiations left the free motion of products across the Irish border, the UK’s most effective land border with the EU which lies between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

“Speaking about the withdrawal settlement,” Rees-Mogg said, “it is a Remainers’ Brexit… it’s shadowing membership of the European Union. It’s half of in, half out. That it would tie us into the Standard Exterior Tariff. It might tie us in by way of Northern Ireland to the EU’s rulebook in vast swathes of job.”

O’Brien tested Rees-Mogg on whether the Good Friday Agreement would necessitate regulatory alignment on both sides of the Irish border. The Excellent Friday Agreement was once the peace deal that ended a long time of battle on the island which, among other administrative principles, allows unhindered trip and exchange.

The Brexiteer staunchly spoke back: “No, it doesn’t [require regulatory alignment].”

Regardless of O’Brien’s assertions on the contrary, Rees-Mogg held firm: “It’s no longer a subject of the Excellent Friday Settlement. The Excellent Friday Agreement wasn’t taking into account these forms of issues.”

Insisting that it does, the host ended the previous clip.

Quick ahead to the present, O’Brien reflected on this interview with a tone of incredulity: “Eight years after Brexit… resolution of the issue he simply denied existed,” he commented.

He continued: “It’s literally like arguing that the sector is going to finish on Tuesday, and it’s now Wednesday. So what do you do together with your loyalty to the one who instructed you that the world was going to finish the day prior to this?”

Criticising right-leaning opinion-led networks like billionaire media multi-millionaire Rupert Murdoch’s TalkTV and GB Information, which employs Rees-Mogg as a commentator, O’Brien said: “He’s still getting, you understand, paid by means of any such bizarre new tv stations. I will be able to’t remember that which one. I feel it’s the Rupert Murdoch one, is it? Or is it the other one? Anyway, it doesn’t matter, does it? Because they exist to keep these lies going.”
