Jacob Rees-Mogg has shared a weird rant in opposition to “liberals who drink skimmed milk”.

Posting on Twitter, the former enterprise, power and industrial technique minister insisted solely full-fat milk will “nourish your inner Tory”.

Mr Rees-Mogg tried six sorts of milk whereas interviewing a dairy farmer from Cheshire on his GB News programme State of the Nation.

He berated plant-based milk options reminiscent of oat, almond and cashew substitutes, calling them “ghastly”. He then mentioned these crops “can’t be milk” and labelled almond milk as tasting like “porridge liquefied”.

The ex-minister opened the phase highlighting how low-fat cheese and yoghurt had reached the grocery store cabinets, including: “For decades creamy milk – the real thing – was ostracised.

“The health lobby went for yoghurt and cheese claiming the low-fat options were better for you. Unfortunately, the public began to obey, with lower fat options increasing in sales volume. But then things took a turn for the worse with even more ghastly things coming out like oat, almond, cashew and soya milk.”

However, he added there was “good news” that “traditional milk is back on the rise”.

He mentioned: “Sales of whole milk [are] up two per cent in the past three months.”

Labour MP Stella Creasy steered the real TV clip appears to be like as if it’s a parody.

She mentioned: “We must tackle deepfake technology being used to create political content urgently, before they further undermine what confidence people have left in democracy.”

Other social media customers equally expressed their disbelief, with one person writing: “Somebody tell me this is satire?!?”
