Every clever tory heavyweight who supported Leave has taken steps to make sure they don't get thrust into the drivers seat as Brexit unfolds.
Rees Mogg probably believes the guff he spouts, but he will have said it publicly to scupper the campaign to get him elected before it gets off the ground.

Indeed, a Prince Among Men.

Such strongly held personal beliefs, that he has no issues with profiting from a company that sells pills used to induce abortion; he's clearly a man of principle.

He's not the first high profile politician to bravely set aside his principles for the greater good of his wallet. I remember when Ken Livingstone made anti-Semitic remarks to a Jewish reporter (nobody finds this stuff even remotely unusual from him anymore) he used the justification that the Evening Standard was part of Daily Mail Group, and in the 1930's the Daily Mail was sympathetic to Hitler (an attitude which wasn't all that uncommon in UK prior to Second World War). What Livingstone didn't say was that he himself had worked for the Evening Standard as a paid restaurant critic, apparently there's some sort of special argument where it didn't count when it was him.

that's a truly amazing non-sequitur, your obsession with Ken Livingstone seems to outweigh even his obsession with Hitler

I am an older voter and he is not in anyway popular with me. Hes just another pratt in a long line of right wing pratts....and no, I didnt vote for Brexit either even though I am a baby boomer.
