This 56 seconds of Jacob Rees-Mogg dying on his arse at the Tory party conference is today’s most satisfying watch
He’s only been turfed out of the Commons for a few months but it’s already hard to believe that Jacob Rees-Mogg was not only an MP but actually in government.
Sure, it was hard to believe he was leader of the House of Commons at the time, but watching him at the Conservative Party conference this week, you start to wonder if it was all a bad – very bad – dream.
And this 56 seconds of Rees-Mogg doing what Rees-Mogg does – and dying on his arse while he does it – is surely today’s most satisfying watch.

Yes absolutely right. The Tories weren't reduced from 365 seat to 121 seats at the last election because folks couldn't get a dentist and there was excrement in the drinking water but because people were saying chair instead of chairman.

Don’t the Tories have enough MP’s to do speeches?
Oh no they don’t.

They've not absorbed any lessons from their defeat. The weirdness. The obsession with fringe issues no one cares about like 'chair'. The attacks on benefit entitlement, on the ECHR, on immigrants and other minorities. All fringe – and unattractive to the vast majority of voters. https://t.co/343r1Ff6Yg
