Chris Patten on eight-year-old Jacob Rees-Mogg

Conservative Party heavyweights Chris Patten and Jacob Rees-Mogg have clashed over Brexit.

Speaking to Jo Coburn on the Daily Politics, the former Conservative Party chairman Lord Patten said Jacob Rees-Mogg’s views when he was an “eccentric” and “charming” eight year-old are still the same as they are now that he is 48.

Jacob Rees-Mogg hit back by saying it is a “great sadness” that Lord Patten “doesn’t want democracy in the United Kingdom”.
