Boris Johnson said this about Jacob Rees-Mogg and these 9 responses nail it
Here’s Boris Johnson backing Jacob Rees-Mogg after he threatened a Brexit revolt if Theresa May didn’t deliver a forensically clean break from the European Union.
It's vital that all MPs are able to air their views on Brexit. Whatever your position, I hope we can all agree that @Jacob_Rees_Mogg is a principled and dedicated MP who wants the best for our country.

The foreign secretary said Rees-Mogg was a “principled and dedicated” politician despite writing a newspaper article which appeared to suggest Theresa May would be ditched if she didn’t deliver a hardline Brexit.

Boris Johnson praising Jacob Rees Mogg for being principled is like Fred West praising the moral compass of Jack the fucking Ripper https://t.co/EEwlIcI8Hu

If Johnson thinks you’re ‘principled’ you should probably call a lawyer… https://t.co/tyG1NLS8zZ

No he’s not. He’s acting in his own interests & those of his ERG chums. You are pursuing a policy that you don’t believe in, & know is impossible to implement, in the hope that you will get the chance to be Prime Minister. Neither of you is acting in the best interests of the UK.

Rees-Mogg's outfit's business activities conflict with his political statements. He's one of the least principled people in public life, against stiff competition from those who jeopardise the safety of British citizens detained abroad. https://t.co/sUE2hGzfQR
