Jacob Rees-Mogg Ventures into Reality TV with 'Meet the Rees-Moggs'

The former Conservative MP and his family star in a Discovery+ series, blending upper-class eccentricity with political undertones.

  • Jacob Rees-Mogg's reality series offers a glimpse into his family's privileged lifestyle, featuring black-tie dinners, private chapels, and a staffed household.
  • The show, which coincided with Rees-Mogg losing his parliamentary seat in the 2024 general election, highlights his campaign trail and personal life.
  • Critics are divided, with some describing the series as vapid and toothless, while others see it as an entertaining look at an eccentric political figure.
  • Rees-Mogg has acknowledged the potential risks of reality TV but views the series as a calculated move to remain in the public eye and potentially aid a political comeback.
  • The show has sparked discussions about the ethics of involving children in reality TV and whether it effectively serves as reputation management for the controversial ex-MP.
