Jacob Rees-Mogg insists that Somerset - not Yorkshire - is 'God's own country' | Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News


SOMERSET Member of Parliament Jacob Rees-Mogg has rejected the belief that Yorkshire is 'God’s own country'.
Conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan described Wakefield as the “heart of God’s own country” when calling for new court facilities in his constituency.
He told the Commons that the “sad demise” of Wakefield’s magistrates’ court meant they were “unable to hand down punishments upon wrongdoers” in the town.
Commons leader Mr Rees-Mogg, MP for North East Somerset, replied: “There are also wrongdoers like my honourable friend who get confused about which county is God’s own county.
“For the record, it is Somerset not Yorkshire - nice place though Yorkshire is.”
