Has Jacob Rees-Mogg just lost his entire support base:

https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/special...b-rees-mogg-disgraceful-home-office-windrush/

Jacob Rees-Mogg lays into the Home Office over the Windrush row in which Commonwealth immigrants have been identified as illegal immigrants.

More than 140 MPs from all parties have signed a letter to the Prime Minister, expressing concern about many Commonwealth-born long-term British residents who have been incorrectly identified as illegal immigrants.

It's been called the Windrush row, named after the ship that brought people here.

And in his first Ring Rees-Mogg phone-in, the Conservative MP was extremely critical of the Home Office.

I'm a fan of his and agree with him on this, so the answer is no I guess?

you realise that a lot of his pro-brexit/conservative supporters are quite big on the old Empire/Commonwealth thing... you're talking about middle England "traditional British values" conservative types not UKIP voters from Barnsley who want to leave the EU because of "dem muslamics wot keep coming over"

don't just assume that because it is about immigrants they'd automatically be opposed...

on things like say Gurkhas being allowed the right to settle here you'd get huge support from that crowd

on this issue I could imaging quite a few old conservative, play by the rules types, thinking it was a disgrace that someone who has lived here legally for decades was caught up in some home office screw up... I suspect that would be the case even for people who were originally opposed to immigration during the 50s/60s say
 
I don't mind Mogg and I agree with him. I imagine most Mogg supporters also agree.

Does OP think Mogg supporters are all far right or something?
