Annunziata Mary Rees-Mogg was born on March 25, 1979 (age 43 years) in Bath, Somerset, United Kingdom. She is one of the daughters of William Rees-Mogg, Baron Rees-Mogg, a former editor of The Times, and his wife Gillian Shakespeare Morris; she is the youngest sister of Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Rees-Mogg joined the Conservative Party at the age of five. She later said of this “I was too young to be a Young Conservative, so I joined the main party. Aged eight I was out canvassing, proudly wearing my rosette.” She was educated at Godolphin and Latymer School in Hammersmith, West London, an independent day school for girls. There, she took A Levels in History, Chemistry and Economics, which she has called “a very odd mix”.
Career
Annunziata Rees-Mogg decided against going to a university, and instead tried a series of different jobs, in journalism, investment banking, publishing, public relations, and stockbroking after leaving school in 1997. In 1998, she moved with her family to Mells, Somerset.
Rees-Mogg set up Trust the People in 2003, a campaign for a referendum on the European Constitution aimed at those too young to have voted in the Common Market referendum of 1975. Speaking about the 2003 Iraq War, she subsequently said, “I think it was a terrible mistake”. She opposed the Hunting Act 2004, which outlawed the hunting of wild mammals with dogs.

In the 2005 general election, Rees-Mogg came fourth in the safe Labour seat of Aberavon, South Wales, increasing the Conservative vote from 2,096 to 3,064. She was selected as a prospective parliamentary candidate for Somerton and Frome in 2006. The Observer said of her, “Having enjoyed finance and journalism, she combined the two in a career as a financial journalist. When she turns to discuss Gordon Brown’s economic record, she does so with authority.”
Annunziata Rees-Mogg wrote an article in November 2007 for MoneyWeek magazine entitled “How to profit from the world’s water crisis”, setting out some of the investment opportunities in the sector. An article in The Sunday Telegraph in October 2009 reported, “Some high-profile women are already installed in winnable seats: Louise Bagshawe [now Mensch], Annunziata Rees-Mogg, Priti Patel, Laura Sandys and Joanne Cash will all make colorful additions to the Tory benches.” However, at the 2010 general election, Rees-Mogg failed to take the Somerton and Frome seats from the sitting Liberal Democrat member David Heath.
It was reported that in advance of the 2010 e lection David Cameron had asked Annunziata Rees-Mogg to shorten her name for political purposes to Nancy Mogg, which her brother Jacob has since said was “a joke”. Rees-Mogg later commented: “I think it’s phony to pretend to be someone you’re not.” Cameron subsequently dropped her from the Conservative Party’s 2011 pre-selections, despite strong support from many female party members.
Having been elected as an MEP for the Brexit Party at the 2019 European Parliamentary elections and serving for seven months, Annunziata Rees-Mogg defected very prominently back to her former party of membership, Conservative. The defection began by leaving the Brexit Party over a month before the UK left the EU and one week prior to a UK General Election which was critical for the Brexit Party, and by at the same time urging voters to vote Conservative.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg sat as an independent in the European Parliament for a month, to become a Conservative MEP in January 2020, just three weeks before the UK left the EU and all MEP positions were abolished. During 2019 and until her tactically timed defection away from the party, Mogg had been a high-profile Brexit Party backer and advocate. (The Brexit Party has since become the political party Reform UK).
