Never let it be said that Jacob Rees-Mogg hasn’t hit the ground running in his exciting new made-up job, Minister for Brexit Opportunities (and Government Efficiency).
Rees-Mogg has turned to the country’s very finest minds to help him make the absolute most of his new role. That’s right, he’s asked for help from readers of The Sun.
And these 17 super, soaraway responses surely say it best.

Dear Jacob,

Rees-Mogg's article in the Sun today gives the whole Brexit game away. An appeal for the everyman to do their bit as the government has no idea how to make Brexit work. "Your country needs you" he says, invoking WW1. We don't know how to make Brexit any good, please help us.
