When UK fertility rates have fallen to below replacement levels, extended exposure to the home life of Jacob Rees-Mogg and his six children may not be much help in turning things around.
As much as the devout Catholic and TV presenter is sincere, on GBNews, where he urges viewers to follow his example, he might reflect on how the spectacle of, in particular, his younger children, squirming and showing off, could inadvertently double – being an exceptionally strong disincentive to parenthood – as contraception. Something for Rees-Mogg to consider, anyway, at his next confession.
