Jacob Rees-Mogg has confessed that he's taking a bit of time to adapt to his new position of being the 'character' in his local pub.
'When one is a government minister, one's opinions carry a certain weight - which I certainly don't measure in kilograms,' explained 'Sir' Jacob. 'However, it's been explained to me that after losing the election, I am not only no longer a minister, I'm, unaccountably, also not even allowed in the building without asking my MP for permission. So I have accepted a position of approaching strangers in a local hostelry and providing them with ridiculous opinions. I think the retirement age should be 90; sorry, that just slipped out.'
