Jacob Rees-Mogg is a prominent member of the UK parliament, a Conservative and outspoken Brexiteer.

From Wikipedia - feel free to skip to the part about their children's names for a good laugh :)

In 2006, Rees-Mogg became engaged to Helena Anne Beatrix Wentworth Fitzwilliam de Chair, a writer for a trade magazine and the only child of Somerset de Chair and his fourth wife Lady Juliet Tadgell. Rees-Mogg had first met de Chair, a close friend of his sister, when they were children, and they began dating the year before their engagement, after Rees-Mogg had gained the blessing of Lady Juliet.[186] The couple were married at Canterbury Cathedral, Kent, in 2007, in a ceremony which included a Tridentine Mass in Ecclesiastical Latin.[187] Together the couple live at Gournay Court in West Harptree and have six children:[188][181]

And then there was the infamous tweet, talking about the German AfD leader and linking to a YouTube video of hers. Tweet link

Of course, I won't deny the AfD has a certain popular appeal, just that it's the Islamophobic, anti-Semitic sort.

So, is this the kind of person we or anyone in their right mind should be listening to about important policy questions such as Brexit?
