Brexit odd couple: Jacob Rees-Mogg v Alastair Campbell 

His wife left him because he voted for Leave? Poor man is in denial.

JRM: "I think bananas are disgusting", AC: "I think bananas are wonderful". The essence of politics. Lol.

If your marriage broke down over a political issue, I daresay it wasn't very strong to begin with

I can't stop laughing at Alastairs reaction to the weird gyno's whopper story!

Voting leave and being married to a German national sums Brexit up in heartbeat. Like all the English living in Spain voting leave, you just can’t make it up.

How about you take these two somewhere that is outside the London bubble where most communities voted leave? See if anyone there have changed their minds, London voted remain!

Something tells me it wasn't voting leave that ended his "successful" marriage...

Does anyone actually buy into that last guys story? Absolute tosh.

They find the wife and ask her, ' Yes, it's true, i was angry about him voting leave, that and him bonking half the nurses was the final straw'

Beautifully orchestrated sob story at the end. Well done C4

Imagine blaming your divorce on Brexit... :')

Hahaha! That minge inspector blaming his voting for brexit for the divorce from his German wife is hilarious! I'm not happy he is divorced, but I am pleased I have now found the number one most ridiculous thing that has been blamed on brexit yet.

Love these two together. Must do more often. Interresting conversations.

Looks like his marriage was on the rocks anyway if that's all it took

The Doctors story has nothing to do with whether Brexit good or bad more that his marriage was built on straw...so off topic

Tony Blair's spin doctor should be in prison

Ha ha, I love Jacob, but you can tell he's not used to doing his own shopping!

There was NEVER a regulation on Bananas. There was one for cucumber for some time, on the request of the food industry, and it wasn't really happy when the EU decided to end the rule. But nobody ever had any concerns about how Bananas are bend. The cucumber thing was mostly about having one common standard.

5.20 if your marriage breaks up over Brexit that is ridiculous and BS

That German woman is now living with a 27 year old African immigrant.

GET THOSE BANANAS AWAY FROM ME!!!!

A very nice video. Jacob listens intens to any persons opinion, shows respect and is therefore respected by many. He is never ever 'full' of himself. If only half of politians would 'realy' listen, it would perhaps all work half better !?

Dr David Kelly RIP. Why is C4 giving Campbell air time and why is Jacob stooping so low to be seen out with him?

That guy that got divorced because of Brexit is lying big time. If that destroyed your marriage then your marriage wasn’t working out anyways.

It is always refreshing to watch this old videos and see how things have unfolded. And if even highly academically trained as gynecologist can make a stupid decision and then come to conclusion - no one should feel ashamed about his decision. If you have a mind, you can always change it. You have just grown and understood better.

"My wife left me because I voted Leave, that means we should have another vote"

Not gonna lie this was awesome. I could only imagine similar dialogue happening in my country

Why do we still need to hear from Campbell, he's not even an MP, just a mouthy, bullying journalist who got lucky with his mate Blair!

I’d love to ask Jacob “How much is a pint of milk?” I suspect he could tell me how much a Bentley costs to drive for an hour, instead.

The EU bent banana regulation was about which bananas are classified as "Class I" bananas, and replaced a pre-existing British regulation that did pretty much the same thing.

I think the real reason she left him was that he kept bringing his work home.

If brexit ended your marriage, it's more down to her being incapable of accepting the opposing position is not about attacking her but just disagreeing.

Mr Campbell asked if it was because Mr Rees Mogg told the public that Brexit would be straightforward and easy but did he really say that ? AND did Mr Campbell tell the public that Brexit would be so so so COMPLICATED ?

I actually felt a little bad for the Toff at the end when he’s asked to give this dude marriage counselling

At the time, no-one knew or had any assurances that if the leave campaign won, that European visitors would be allowed to keep their residency in the UK. The guy said he was naive and it must've been a spur of the moment argument with him not understanding and being dismissive, that probably led to them separating. Human psychology doesn't follow consistent trends otherwise everyone would be a professor if their guesses were so infallible

As a present for the PM i would get an electric chair

I can't decide if that guy was a Channel 4 or Alastair Campbell plant.

Stinks of a setup!

They need to do this again.

The gynaecologist doesn’t know as much about women as he thought !

Yes Alastair, a banana is not a staple food so you probably shouldn't stockpile it. How can I take anything you say serious after such a silly suggestion?!?! 🤣

MOGG for PM soonest please, like next week !

Never trust a man who doesn't like bananas

I really could not see the point on doing this the woman that owned the cafe we are still in the EU so there is still people coming here so may be your wages are not up to much and as for that dr well blaming your brake up of your marriage on voting leave think your marriage was not good before that this sort of filming is just daft and to be hornets why mr mogg would get involved with Campbell I'm not sure that was a good move

Oh my, a lovely marriage that was. She must have loved Germany more than him. Good to find out now rather than later, eh?

5:32 - their faces. priceless.

"Are you surprised at how complicated it's become?" It's only become complicated, because of the MPs who are trying to frustrate the will of the people.

Jacob Rees-Mogg 'food prices will go down'. What a plum.

These two are having great fun as a political Laurel & Hardy comedy duo with potential to survive Brexit and go on to make the reality TV ratings

I Love Jacob.😊 Poor man, having to put up with that Slimy Toerag Campbell😬 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hard to get people to apply for a part time cafe chef job in london not a huge surprise really how are they going to survive off that

There is something rather odd-sounding from the doctor who claimed that his wife left him because he voted Brexit. The doctor then went on to state that there should be another Referendum... would his wife then come back if he tells her he has voted Remain? What a totally bizarre and unbelievable story... was this man some strange plant?

Campbell never asked about a second referendum when the person said stay.

That taxi ride was probably the closest Jacob’s ever been to a brown person not cleaning his office

The public already voted to leave. If you want a second referendum the question should be May’s deal or leave on WTO. I’d vote WTO. Funny how it’s only dreadful remoaners wanting a second referendum to get us to stay in.

Campbell's idea of democracy is that you vote again and again until he gets the result he wants.

Why on earth would any one want to listen to Alistair Campbell? Have they forgotten he was instrumental in taking us into an illegal war in Iraq. I honestly don’t know how he has the arrogance to face the public again.

Business owners will always say stay ,ask the general public not business owners

Anyone else think that C4 with Campbell set that bloke up in the coffee house who lost his wife through Brexit?

Strange how BoE boss Mark Carney is so negative about Brexit, while former boss Mervyn King is very positive.

Isnt it ironic that Alastair Campbell ignored the million of people marching in protest against invading Iraq but now hes all about the peoples vote and protesting Brexit

Did his wife leave him via a hard leave or soft leave ...

Actually he there were many marriages relationships and friendships that fell apart and many who left their jobs and the country which seemed very strange to me over a political decision

Quality editing getting them both saying yes to two different things while you push the agenda of a 4th vote on this! I can see the tricks you play!

Wait a sec.. He voted leave when he is married to a German living in the UK and she felt betrayed.. Would never have seen that coming.

Jacob Rees Mogg is Still Living in the 19th Century Victorian Era 🎩

Only watched because of mogg, the other 2 I do not have time for

The only reason why it’s complicated is because of the EU not Britain!

Alistair Campbell like most remainers is wrong on the banana thing - not only was there a regulation (2257/94) of bananas, it graded them (via a technical note attached to the regulation) and then banned everything below a certain grade from import into the customs union - and one of the aspects to that regulation was the bend (there were actually elements in the regulation that were even more absurd than that). I don't know many times I've had people tell me I'm wrong on this and I'm sure people will do again here but here's my retort: if this didn't happen, how is it that when it was raised that the commission had to create a new regulation (1333/2011 - took 7 years by the way) undoing it all when shamed into doing so. It boggles my mind that we still have to listen to people who have held unelected high office claiming this wasn't a thing when it plainly was - and still is in the case of things that aren't bananas.

Nice to see them wearing their seatbelts

Don't believe a word that comes out of Alastair Campbell's mouth.

Tom Hardy moonlighting as a green grocer. 3:10 😳😂

'Consultant on his day off........' yeah right, in his work suit.

Powerful story at the end - should make any of us sad.

You are well rid of the German cow ,, 🤔😂😂😂

They need to start telling the whole dirty truth. I know brits don’t like experts and economists or lawyers. But there need to be an half hour of honest information about brexit every day. What will it cost? How high r tariffs on WTO rules? What is happening to the pound? What aces has the UK left? What r the costs of the 60+ other free trade deals that will be gone after brexit? How high r the costs of staying really compared to the benefits? How will it it effect food prices? Do we have to adopt the horrible US food standards?......... people still know nothing after 2 years

Why are they not wearing seatbelts?

As an American hearing for the first time about a “specific regulation on the curvature” of bananas it’s so funny (& ludicrous) I can’t stop laughing. Please tell me that’s not true….

Completely ridiculous story at the end. The gynecologist was probably blaming his own faults on Brexit. I'm a proud, dual British and German national and I voted for Brexit, and I would also vote for Dexit - although I doubt that opportunity will come around. Love Europe - the greatest continent and civilisation on earth. Hate the EU - an updated version of the Soviet Union.

The real division in this country is between Mogg and Campbell, why can't they be the leaders of our parties?

You got to love democracy " Please vote if you want to leave the EU " - Votes leave - " um no, thats not what we wanted you to vote, lets flood the media with propaganda and vote again "

I rlly loved this.

Really sad that in lieu of an absence of leadership in the labour party that we have to rely on Alistair Campbell and Tony Blair to fight for remain. Certainly not great optics. Britain needs a young and passionate voice explaining to them the negative implications of Brexit.

"But, at the end of the day, I think the British public should have another shot at this." And how many more shots after that? Presumably, until they vote the other way?

The difference between British people and other Europeans is that we differentiate Europe and the E.U whereas lots of mainland European countries don't.

Two months for a part time chef vacancy. Things haven changed one bit, whichis a great outlook for those foreigners who are willi got get jobs in Britain. But a friend d told me it all went down the drain be cause of Corona.

Mogg for Dr who

Is the guy who split up with his wife over Brexit real or an actor?? Seems abit over the top lol. Obviously they would have talked about it beforehand.

Mmmmmmmm, why can't the Irish cafe owner employ English people(maybe less fortunate than her) in her local cafe area rather than people from 300+ miles away 🤔

Mogg is wealthy beyond imagination, leaving to him is purely a game. That being said, at least he is out and about doing things like this and sticking with his decision. Not like DC

This is fantastic.

The marriage couldn't have been so successful...

It's so easy to shutdown the 2nd referendum argument. If the 2nd referendum were to result in a remain vote then can we have a 3rd vote!?

Campbell face at the End was very funny ,fatly satisfied 😂

so we have another referendum and the numbers stay the same but for remain winning, do we then have another, this mess is because of poor negotiating skills by the government mainly driven by people who really did not want to leave.

Anecdotes are not evidence based arguments.

Mogg for PM! Campbell is actually quite funny for a prat

Must be implemented before another referendum.

1.34 minutes in and RJM managed to mention the war. How?!! Godwin's law strikes again in only 94 seconds.

Love JRM. Must be great just having people of all sorts wander over and say they want you to be PM. Its the first thing I would say to him if I met him
