Jacob Rees-Mogg’s claims about Theresa May came back to haunt him tonight after his boss Boris Johnson suffered even worse in a no confidence vote than she did.
When 37% of her MPs voted no confidence in 2018, Mr Rees-Mogg claimed it was “a terrible result” for her and “she ought to go and see the Queen urgently and resign.”
But today he said passing by just one vote would be “enough” for Boris Johnson. Hours later, 41% of Tory MPs voted against Mr Johnson - worse than the result for Mrs May.
