A Tory MP said this about Jacob Rees-Mogg and people think it’s the most savage burn ever
Tory MP Nicholas Soames – not someone who features too often on these pages – has taken issue with Jacob Rees-Moog and his tweet went viral because people think it’s the most devastating thing he could possibly have said about him.
The problem with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg is that people confuse his undoubted fluency and a moderately well cut suit with wisdom but sadly he’s plain wrong #astonishinglettertoConstituencyPartyChairmen

Sometimes subtle is the most savage, as these people appear to agree.

The word “moderately” makes this whole sentence, I think https://t.co/DLaGLC7TDQ

The most impressive thing about your tweet, M’Lud, is that the Mogg’s vanity is much less likely to be offended by your suggestion that his Brexit posturing is absurd than the hint that he buys his strange Bertie Wooster suits in Primark

"moderately well cut suit" – how one very posh person publicly humiliates another. https://t.co/0aiPnvwCEO

it's the "moderately well cut suit" remark that is going to sting the most. https://t.co/AjWcPIY4U5

His suits are terribly badly cut. I've never understood this because he can afford a descent tailor.

‘Moderately’! In my tailoring days I would have pinched the side seams in an inch and discreetly observed that double breasted jackets draw undue attention to puny shoulders. https://t.co/PQgJPCEz7i

Can’t imagine what he can possibly be talking about.
Jacob Rees Mogg is what The Slender Man would look like if he’d been breast-fed by a wet nurse until the age of 15. pic.twitter.com/OPo8VWALeW
