I also heard him on The World at One, saying that describing the Standards Committee as a kangaroo court was 'unfair to marsupials'.
He speaks like a precocious smart-arse eleven year-old.
I suspect that he spoke like that at the age of eleven and hasn't changed. Kids who do that either get bullied, or become the bullies. I've a fair idea I know which way it went with Rees-Mogg because his snide, verbal tactics just seem second nature to him, which suggests long practice. His description of concerns about
Ministers bullying as 'snowflakey' is a typical bully's response to being called out.
