'He sleeps totally still' Guide to odd world of the Rees-Moggs

Jacob Rees-Mogg's reality show may sound as appealing as flushing your head down a toilet yet Meet the Rees-Moggs (on Discovery+) is such bewildering television that it may well come up in conversation over the next few weeks.

If that's the case, here's a handy bluffer's guide to just how weird the former Tory MP and his family are.

1 Jacob Rees-Mogg's Somerset home is covered with portraits of Jacob Rees-Mogg. It is so heavily plastered with pictures of him that you soon lose count. There's a painting of him as an adolescent. There's a painting of him mimicking Aaron Shikler's John F Kennedy portrait. There's a painting of him standing in front of another painting, which is quite Inception-y of him. The best one, though, is a painting of him that one of his six children is forced to stare at during trumpet practice.

2 Jacob Rees-Mogg is a Greggs nut. Apparently, he says he buys a ham and cheese baguette and a chocolate eclair for his lunch every day. However, he says this during the election campaign and then never mentions it again after he loses his seat, so maybe it is simply a wrongheaded attempt to pander to the electorate.
