14 top comments on the egg all over the face of Jacob Rees-Mogg
With Boris Johnson dropping out of the race to be prime minister, it’s not a good time to be someone who has given full-throated support to the unreliable part-time MP.

Prime examples include Nadhim Zahawi –
Well this is awkward. Nadhim Zahawi article backing Boris Johnson is published at 9pm – 2 mins after he put out a statement saying he was pulling out of the race. pic.twitter.com/pUiDs8prux

And, of course, Nadine Dorries.

But it was the arrogant certainty of Jacob Rees-Mogg that left him, in particular, looking like a man in the ‘find out’ stage of life, after giving interviews on Johnson’s alleged suitability for the job, as well as this Year 8 I.T. project of a tweet.
There was an obvious riposte to that …
Bust it is, Jacob. Time to go now. https://t.co/ocjgRDg4zP

That wasn’t all people had to say about Rees-Mogg backing the wrong horse.

They think we’re fucking idiots! The absolute disdain they have for you is unbearable. They can just do what they want now can’t they? Absolute self serving scumbags. Thatcher would spin in her grave to know this is who rules her party now. https://t.co/62FOzKsuld

Johnson not running because the 100 MPs supporting him were all Jacob Rees-Mogg’s imaginary friends.

Rees Mogg looks exhausted. Like he hasn't had time to hang upside down in his belfry for weeks.

Hilarious! Blojo cut his holiday short only to discover that he’s still considered toxic by his own party. How will Chitty Chitty Bang Bang villain Jacob Rees-Mogg deal with having declared “Boris or Bust” so publicly. Presumably he’ll do the decent thing and resign immediately? pic.twitter.com/GIOA59X01g

How many hours ago was it that Jacob Rees-Mogg said Boris Johnson would “clearly stand” for the Tory leadership?

Why are people saying that Zahawi, Rees-Mogg and Cleverly have trashed their reputations? All they’ve done is proven yet again who they are.

The one thing making me feel all warm and fuzzy is the potential career ending moment for Rees-Mogg.
The biggest fraud in political history….

Rees-Mogg might have some backpedalling to do.
Jacob Rees-Mogg told the BBC this morning that calls for a general election are “pretty hollow if the person who won the mandate (Boris Johnson) is actually the prime minister”.
Presume he thinks calls for an early election are no longer hollow?

And it’s not easy on a penny-farthing.
