Jacob Rees-Mogg’s son bags first ‘scoop’ as junior reporter

Writing for Eton College's Junior Chronicle, young Peter was given a lesson in humility by former prime minister Boris Johnson.

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s son has made his first foray into the world of political journalism with an exclusive interview with former prime minister, Boris Johnson.

Writing for Eton College’s ‘Junior Chronicle’, Rees-Mogg’s lookalike eldest son Peter got time where few other journalists have with the outgoing MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

Johnson told the aspiring journo that you have to treat bad umpire decisions gracefully in a thinly veiled reference to the Privileges Committee, which recently found him to have misled parliament on numerous occasions with his partygate denials.

“You do not protest”, Johnson said using a cricket analogy, when the “umpire raises his finger.”

“You smile, you say: ‘thank you very much Sir’ and you walk towards the Pavilion.”

Johnson recently accused the Privileges Committee of making “Mystic Meg” claims and reaching a “deranged conclusion” in a blistering response to its report.

He branded it a “kangaroo court” and described the panel and its findings as “a load of complete tripe”.

So much for walking towards the Pavilion!

Thank you to Piers Morgan for promoting my son Peter’s scoop. https://t.co/LX04Oel17M

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
