Rees-Mogg brags about attendance rate – forgets to mention one thing

The Tory MP thanked a "lefty" FOI request for exposing his immaculate attendance in parliament.

Jacob Rees-Mogg continued his back-to-the-office crusade with a humble Twitter brag about his own attendance in parliament.

The Minister of State for Brexit opportunities and government efficiency said a “lefty freedom of information request” showed he attended the Commons on over 100 per cent of sitting days in a year.

He said “office working has much to commend it” after it was revealed he was in on 159 days versus 154 sitting days.

But the Tory MP conveniently forgot to mention that in 2018 he purchased a £5 million townhouse just yards from Parliament, with his wife, Helena, spotted directing removal men shortly after he completed on the property.

An umbrella stand made up of old hardback books was spotted being transported in with a union jack flag hanging out of the side.

One cardboard box was marked ‘hanging garment carrier’ as it was lugged in by removal men.

The luxury property makes Rees-Mogg’s walk to work less than 400 yards, which is a handy commute if you can get it.

He could also jump on the number 87 bus, although he might struggle with the whole “lobster card” concept.

Let’s not forget, in 2018, Jacob spent £5m on a new house just 390 yards from Parliament. It should come as no surprise that he finds “commuting to the office” to be no hardship whatsoever… https://t.co/MMuVvyRc4h

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.
