Green MP Caroline Lucas slammed Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg for slouching in the Commons
In a monumental evening for UK politics, which saw MPs locked in a meeting from half past two until almost 11pm, Leader of the House and Bizarre Edwardian Cartoon Jacob Rees-Mogg was visibly overcome with fatigue and/or contempt on the front benches of the Commons. Look, we’re all exhausted by Brexit – but you’d think that, in the desperate scramble to keep our country from hurtling off a cliff edge, those charged with leading the way would feel invested enough to sit up straight.
‘While [Rees Mogg] has been lecturing us about democracy, we will have none of it’, concluded Lucas. The internet had a field day, of course. Eminently memeable Rees-Mogg will have woken this morning to find his prone image transposed onto comfy graphs of the plummeting Pound against the Euro, taken as a downward curve to illustrate the dwindling majority of his government, as well as a Millais Ophelia and Rose From Titanic . Good work, class. Pity the prefect’s asleep at his post.
