Rees-Mogg: Report has reinvigorated Johnson supporters

Staunch Boris Johnson supporter Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has insisted the former prime minister “maintains considerable support” following the damning Privileges Committee report that found him to have deliberately misled Parliament. The Conservative MP told Channel 4 News: “[The committee has] over-egged their particular pudding and made themselves look vindictive and actually therefore helped Boris Johnson. It’s reinvigorated his supporters.”.
