The former MP’s family life is as archaic as his politics
Jacob Rees-Mogg and his wife Helena, with five of their six children sleep at night?” Completely still, under a crucifix, leaving the bed looking like nobody’s slept in it, “as if in a tomb”. Sheets and blankets – no duvet. Usually after a dinner of something like gammon and mashed potatoes and cabbage served by candlelight and a service at his own barn chapel, at which he treasures a splinter from the crown of thorns and hair from the shirt of St Thomas More.
It can’t be to win votes because he’s already been unseated after 14 years in July’s general election – the two episodes available for preview chart the early election announcement, his campaign, his fragmenting constituency, the glum prospects for the Conservative party, his wife – who describes the country as “anti-conservative, possibly with some justification unfortunately” – the family bracing for annihilation and his inevitable defeat at the count.
Whether true to life or tediously performative, what’s presented here is a way of life so deliberately detached from reality, this century, most other Tory politicians, and even the landowning classes, that it cannot possibly represent anyone except the Rees-Moggs.
