Vote Ukraine for Eurovision glory, Mogg's message to patriotic Brits

The annual showcase of continental culture, complete with vibrant uniforms, diverse music and eye-catching acts, will take place against the backdrop of the Russian invasion.

Ukraine's act is the favourite to win – a triumph that won't affect the military battle for the Donbas but would again signal the strength of support enjoyed by Kyiv throughout Europe. It will pit Kyiv's act again Britain's Sam Ryder, who has attracted buzz ahead of his performance of Space Man. Asked on LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast if he backed the British act or Ukraine's, Brexit minister Jacob Rees-Mogg said: "Oh goodness, you're not expecting me to listen to the Eurovision song contest, are you?"He added: "It was quite funny when Terry Wogan used to introduce it. I'm afraid I haven’t seen it since.Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra are expected to sweep to glory in Turin on Saturday. Russia has been banned from the contest because of the invasion.

Britain's Sam Ryder is hoping to end the UK's awful run in the competition, having only polled in the top half of the table three times in the 21st century.Each country votes by awarding points to other countries, using a combination of the public voting and a panel.

Defo not. Not fair. It is about the best song and to b honest it was not. But so what as it has always been political.

what was the point in holding it was told weeks ago Ukraine was going to win and Mr back England to the end saying it Patriotic to vote for Ukraine. hope we do not reach the world cup final and have to face them what will he say then god help us

What happened to merit

Just remind me which part of Europe are Australia in 🤡

Da fuck is this guy sniffing?

What!?

I was thinking the same until he said it , come on Turkey !!!!

Wasnt he in 'sparks'

I bet Jake isn’t even watching tonight.

Patriotic Brits should have voted to keep the country strong by voting to REMAIN in the EU.

Sure .. it might make up for all their women and children refused refuge .. patronising gimp

I thought you vote for the song.

Like he even knows what the contest is.

Don’t be sheep

If he's for it I must be agin it!

Well that the kiss of death..

Does darling Jacob_Rees_Mogg know what eurovision is Tell him it’s like Gilbert & Sullivan

Real Brits, won't be watching that bullshit and instead, will be concentrating on the cost of living crisis 😏💯

And he should vote to raise benefits and close tax loop holes.

He can get to fuck

Jacob_Rees_Mogg You really meaning what you say!?

I agree with him. I need help !

The haunted pencil needs to understand the damage his own party is doing to his country. Maybe his investment company in Ireland can vote for the UK to win🤷‍♂️

They will win with or without UK votes as Eurovision has nothing to do with songs or performances but making political statements!

When we had footballers supporting Black Lives Matter ✊🏿 they all demonise them and say it should be football and not political but yet we should vote for them .

Ridiculous comment. Too much politics. We should vote for the best song which is the UK song. Go Sam 🙏

Rees-Maggot is a traitor. Who does he think he is to lecture people about patriotism?

If you vote for Ukraine because they are Ukraine then you are not voting for the best in the competition and it’s just pointless to hold the competition in the first place

Nope

What do you think the odds are on Jacob_Rees_Mogg actually ever having watched the Eurovision Song Contest ?

Some people just love telling other people what to do

Oh do me a favour

Jacob Rees-Mogg says 'patriotic' Eurovision fans should back UkraineThe folk-rap group have becoming increasingly popular following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in February. Russia has been banned from the competition. If I was Ukraine, I would rather step down than get supported due to events that are irrelevant to the competition.

'We'll do better, not less': Mogg defends civil service bloodbath as 90,000 jobs face axe'Having taken on an extra 91,000 staff since 2016, do you and your listeners feel public services that they receive directly have got any better?' Might we mention at this point the £37 billion wasted on Dido Harding's failed Track-and-Trace and the containers of useless PPE clogging up Felixstowe port? We had an “oven ready meal” but it was unfortunate that while we were levelling up Downing Street we forgot to put the ingredients in the meal and now that we have had a series of illegal unscheduled ”official” parties ..we can not eat anymore..sack the immigrant cook!!…Sorted! It gives all those that don't like coming into the office an 'opportunity' to progress their career elsewhere now👍
