In the latest cringe-worthy Tory photo opp, Jacob Rees-Mogg was pictured zooming down a zip wire in a tweed suit earlier this week.
With the flags of Wales and United Kingdom in his hand, the Conservative zoomed down Velocity 2 – dubbed “the fastest zip line in the world” – at Zip World, in North Wales.
It isn’t the first time that a Tory politician has been spotted on a zip wire either, of course. Back in 2012, who can forget, Boris Johnson got stuck on one in the capital.
