Agreed he looks just like Dad when he's suited up like that...I wonder if he looks like him without the matching glasses and suit??

I think they (Tories) had expected a different result in that poll.

Leadsome left surrounded by Policemen.-+

He does, doesn't he? :-D
I was going to say, they both bear a striking resemblance to 'Walter the Softy' from the 'Beano' - then I found this :-D :-D

Apart from all that.

That nipper doesn't half look like his dad.

Rollo, not reading Latin I wondered for a moment if that was an anagram.....

However having googled, that's really interesting, re Mogg...

First entry up was this

I have Mogford/Mugfords in my tree.

Hmmmm.
Rees-Mogg would have known about the protesters (from both sides), did he really think, whatever the outcome, that everyone would be happy?
Or is he so full of his own self-importance, he never once thought about consequences?

IF I was being generous I might give Rees-Mogg the benefit of the doubt and say he thought that taking his son to work on the day when Parliament agreed to leave the EU with a deal would be something the son could remember always ;-) A bit like taking your child to see the Coronation, that kind of thing :-)

I feel so sorry for his children
Also, as you say, Rose, why was his son even there?
Can we ordinary 'plebs' take our children to work as and when we choose?
I don't think so.

That 'peas with honey' rhyme is in my autograph book, written in by a very learned former teacher :-)

Why on earth was Mogg parading his son at such a time? Nanny's day off?

What has that got to do with my thread?

I expect you eat your peas with honey as well.

You obviously never met the paterfamilias.

I never liked the Tories
I never even tried
One day they went and vanished
Disappeared up their own backsides.

Did you see the news last night?

Walking back, under protection, from the House of Commons was a big Jacob Rees-Mogg and a little Jacob Rees-Mogg.

His son, poor little devil, is a little version of him.
