I don't see him ever becoming the leader of the Tories. If Boris is a current events joke, Rees-Mogg is a joke from a Francis Bacon play that people don't even try to understand
Sure, but not even a decade ago Prime Minister Johnson was a punchline. I don’t know if Rees-Mogg as PM is as laughable as you make it out to be.
Someone like him even coming withing a ten foot pole of 10 Downing Street in supposedly "modern" age would mean the last 300 years of the United Kingdom was just a grim joke with no punchline.
