Privately-educated Jacob Rees-Mogg wants privately-educated Nigel Farage to get a peerage, so he can serve as an unelected minister, just like privately-educated David Cameron. These are the politicians who rail against 'the establishment elite'.

Sunak is right to ask us not to judge 14 years of Tory rule on 49 days of Liz Truss. I mean, there is austerity, Brexit, benefit cuts for the disabled, Generation Windrush, bedroom tax, tripled tuition fees, anti-union laws and Rwanda deportations to factor in as well.

I know Nadhim Zahawi had to pay a 30% surcharge for his attempted £3.7m tax dodge. But 300 hours of community service in an inner city food bank would have done him a lot more good.
