Jacob Rees-Mogg announces birth of his sixth child, Sixtus


Social media users react with glee and disbelief as Tory MP reveals name of newborn son on Instagram

The Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg has provoked delight and mirth by naming his newborn son and sixth child Sixtus.

Rees-Mogg, MP for North East Somerset, announced the birth on Instagram on Wednesday.

He posted an image of himself cradling Sixtus, with the words: “Helena and I announce with great joy that we have a baby Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher, a brother for Peter, Mary, Thomas, Anselm and Alfred.”

One Twitter user responded: “There’s a man in touch with the challenges of modern life.”

Another said: “The thing about Jacob Rees-Mogg is that his politics [are] horrendous but I can’t bring myself to hate him because he’s from another time.”


And another wrote: “Jacob Rees-Mogg is trending because apparently we’ve had no recent lessons about not taking dangerously inept rich men in politics seriously.”

Sixtus isn’t the only one of the Rees-Mogg brood with a lengthy name. His siblings’ full names are Peter Theodore Alphege, Mary Anne Charlotte Emma, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius Rees-Mogg.

The Old Etonian’s eccentric image has made him something of a cult figure on Instagram and Twitter. Rees-Mogg is a recent convert to social media, describing it in a recent interview as “great fun”. His Twitter background features a bucolic Somerset landscape.

The sketch writer Quentin Letts famously dubbed him “the honourable member for the early 20th century”. Rees-Mogg himself, a member of an old mining family, has said he is suspicious of politicians who try to present themselves as “men of the people”.

There's tales coming out too of him going to sleep if he found meetings boring.

Makes you wonder how he's made so much money " legally ".

He does come across as an uber tit.

However on the plus side, he's seemingly done his usual.

Made loads of promises to fatty about players and is now only making funds available to buy the likes of Huddlestone from Hull.

They never learn do they lol
 

When we go to the shops, my youngest lad who is disabled likes to carry the milk, it's his thing to do and it's quite a big deal to him.

He dropped the milk and it split on the way home, causing him to have a melt down in the street.

A fella who was passing in his car saw what happened, stopped, got a bottle of milk out of the boot from his shopping and gave it to my lad, who was made up. He wouldn't take any money for it and drove off.

How nice was that ?

It's the little things that count.
