Jacob Rees-Mogg’s been talking Weetabix, baked beans and ‘nanny’s homemade marmalade’ – only 4 responses you need

You’ll probably remember how Weetabix caused a bit of a kerfuffle earlier this week when it suggested on Twitter that people might like to enjoy the breakfast cereal with baked beans.

Why should bread have all the fun, when there’s Weetabix? Serving up @HeinzUK Beanz on bix for breakfast with a twist. #ItHasToBeHeinz #HaveYouHadYourWeetabix pic.twitter.com/R0xq4Plbd0

It prompted no end of responses and was a very welcome distraction from everything else going on right now.

But not worthy, surely, of a debate in the House of Commons? Think again, after the issue was raised by Conservative MP Philip Hollobone (no, us neither).

And Jacob Rees-Mogg was only too happy to join in, obviously. What larks!

Weetabix with baked beans: a debate “more divisive than Brexit”?

And these are the only four responses you need (the last one’s a bit NSFW, just in case).

The absolute horror of every second of this. https://t.co/8gTRzFU2hb

Because it’s normal for a nearly 50 year old man to have a nanny. 🙄

We liked this one too.

They were pretending to be over 50 at the age of 12, and now they're over 50, they're pretending to be six. https://t.co/NexhGTcKII

Not sure if this is related, or just evergreen.

I have no greater wish in this world than for Jacob Rees-Mogg to be left suddenly bankrupt and destitute.
