Jacob Rees-Mogg: My children are being taught not to buy cheap T-shirts in Left-wing classes

Must read

The family will be seen in a new Discovery+ series, Meet the Rees-Moggs, which begins on Dec 2, in which the couple appear with Mary and their other five children: Peter, 17, Thomas, 14, Anselm, 12, Alfred, eight and Sixtus, seven.

The series will focus on the Rees-Moggs’ life in their £2.9 million Somerset country house, with five domestic staff.

Sir Jacob has revealed that after he lost his seat in Parliament at the July election, his son Peter received hate mail at Eton.

“He got it this summer, before this programme had been announced. The hate mail did make me think about how aggressive the modern world is to children of politicians.

“I went into politics long before I was married or had children, but somebody aged 40 who has a couple of children will certainly think twice about [going into politics],” he said.

“The hate mail concerned me. I thought that was unreasonable. Send me hate mail, that’s fine, that’s part of political life. But to send it to a child?”

Asked if he shared it with the police, he said: “No. What would the police do?”
