‘Nourish Your Inner Tory’: Labour Mock Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Beyond Parody Milk Monologue

Milk alternatives are the latest target of disdain for Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who dedicated a segment of his GB News show to knock skimmed milk chugging liberals.

Rees-Mogg, the Brexiteering figurehead for the Tory right, scheduled a dedicated monologue to express his hatred of “ghastly” milk alternatives such as oat, almond, and cashew, which he humorously noted “can’t be milked.” Almond milk, he said, tastes “like porridge liquefied.” And only woke liberals “drink skimmed milk to go with their faux leather sandals.”

During the show he taste-tested a range of low-fat, skimmed and milk alternatives live on air, concluding that: “Food is really an excuse to have as much cream as possible.”

The fixation would be funny if it wasn’t a political manoeuvre. Rees-Mogg’s comments come as part of a broader strategy to appeal to “disillusioned” rural voters. With a dairy farmer in the studio, the politician continued to blast the “health lobby” for having “ostracised” full fat milk.

The response from Labour was dismissive, pointing to the strange nature of the whole scene. MP Stella Creasy took to X to joke the video might have been produced by AI to embarrass Rees-Mogg.

Other internet users joined in, encouraging people to “drink soy milk so you don’t turn into Jacob Rees-Mogg.”
