I must comment re that Rees-Mogg Tory grandee title. Jacob RM is nothing more than a devious "con" and it disnae stand for Conservative either. Jacob RM is definitely a devious little "clever clogs" who has a knack of making lotsa money from his dealings in financial servs and investments and ensuring it is safely protected in offshore funds and other "shady" practises. He manufactured his current, larger-than-life persona for two reasons. Firstly, to hide his very middle-class, bourgeois origins and desperate need to make money. This is a man who professes that one cannot lead an English nationalist revolution without pretending to a faux aristocratic heritage - if you are not born a Churchill then pretend to be one - he's a "con"!
Secondly, Mogg's fake poshness, to the point of eccentricity, has proved a quick way of getting noticed inside Westminster and he has plotted a power base with other frustrated Tory Brexiteers. A clue to his false makeup comes from his family origins from a long line of Somerset minor gentry - the yeoman backbone of Old England who created the first agricultural capitalist class. Our man Jacob may seem like a reactionary, but he is more dangerous than that! The "posh" disguise masks ruthless ambition and a real talent for making huge sums of money!
