For all the hype Moggmania has garnered over the past few weeks it is perhaps surprising, given the political climate, how little of it revolved around his political stance. For most people Jacob Rees-Mogg did the thing that few other politicians dare do – he gave an honest account of himself and openly spoke his mind.
