Is Jacob zipping to high office... just like his boss?
WHEN Boris Johnson rode a zip wire holding two Union flags as London mayor, it broke down and left him dangling in mid-air for several minutes.
It didn’t do his career any harm, though, as his current position shows. It remains to be seen whether a ride on a zip wire will similarly prove to be a landmark on the way to 10 Downing Street for Jacob Rees-Mogg.
But things certainly went a lot more smoothly for the Commons Leader yesterday when he took a break from political meetings to try one out during a visit to Zip World in North Wales, holding both the national and Welsh flags.
Asked if the stunt suggested he was aspiring to Number 10, the MP, who also visited a whisky distillery, said: ‘God, no. I want the PM to carry on being PM because he’s great at it.’
