The Tories seem to be very happy to have Rees-Mogg as one of their main front people in this election - maybe because his face shouts 'hard Brexit' which they want to be the single issue - and because he has had a bit of a free ride as an exotic 'character'.
But the teflon is flaking off.
He managed to piss off Nigel Farage a few days ago - who accused him of 'conceited arrogance' - contributing to the Brexit Party decision to stand against the Tories in over 600 constituencies.
