Jacob Rees-Mogg: Not exactly giving Nostradamus a run for his money...
But taking the biscuit for a statement most detached from reality is surely Jacob Rees-Mogg.minister appeared on Sky News to defend the beleaguered Prime Minister.
Political editor Beth Rigby rightly asked him how long Mr Johnson could remain in office after the bombshell resignations of his Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid. ‘I’m going for Walpole. Walpole did 21 years, and I’d like to see the Prime Minister do better than Walpole,’ Mr Rees-Mogg replied.With the benefit of hindsight, Mr Rees-Mogg may come to regret that prediction considering the slow-motion car crash that followed.Mr Johnson has endured more than 50 Government resignations – the most for any sitting PM – and he was even stabbed in the back by the Chancellor he appointed two days ago.
