A few years ago I remember thinking that as much as I hated Tories at least buffoons like Jacob Rees-Mogg were on the fringes. Not now.

PS
By the way… Sixtus is not Latin for 'Sixth'. It means 'smoothly polished'. 'Sistine' is the adjective (the chapel built by Pope Sixtus IV) https://t.co/3X5AKfUXhD
