Re: ....and the beat goes on.............
No. I meant what I said.
Assuming you're telling the truth (and I don't) makes no difference. If Brexit is going to be the bowl of cherries Rees-Mogg claims it's going to be, why has his firm set up a fund in Ireland? Isn't he supposed to want to be free from all that EU regulation and red tape? Or is he just another lying hypocrite?
Whether he works for his firm or not is irrelevant. Has this toff ever done any work anyway? He remains a person of significant control (major shareholder, director, etc) even if that's had to be disguised behind trusts and shell company proxies because he's an MP.
Here's some info from his entry in the MP's register of interests:
1. Employment and earnings
Partner in Somerset Capital Management LLP, 146 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1W 9TR; investment management.
As a client of Somerset Capital Management (SCM), I provide services to The Chestnut Fund, an investment fund. (Registered 27 November 2012)
7. (i) Shareholdings: over 15% of issued share capital
Saliston Ltd; holding company

According to Companies House, Rees-Mogg owns > 75% of Saliston Ltd. Which has significant control of Somerset Capital Management. Various other Rees-Moggs are directors, including his wife and at least one daughter.
You're trying to make out he's got nothing to do with this company. That's clearly not true. Though you might well be about 22 Carlisle Street - isn't that Private Eye's office?
