Advice to newly-elected MPs – be more like Rees-Mogg

Leicestershire has three ‘fresher’ MPs in this Parliament, and the Daily Mail’s Quentin Letts has some sound advice to all newly-elected Parliamentarians.

Discussing “throwback” Jacob Rees-Mogg he wrote:

Jacob has put in plenty of hours in the Commons. He has sat at the far end, watching, learning.

He has not asked patsy questions. He has not been a blowhard.

He has kept his distance from ministers and is a lesson to Westminster’s stooges and government grovellers and soundbite-spouting careerists.

All power to his angular elbow.
