Rees Mogg lying down.

D'you know what Boo, I'm not a sneering person but for this person I will make an exception. It's not to do with politics.....nobody comes out of the shambles very well at all...it is the arrogance, the rudeness of the man.

Unless I am mistaken he was at work. Is this the way to behave? Is this what teachers are trying to instill in the young? If you don't like something it's OK to nod off and lie down.

Wake up, its indefensible.

It would be a tad childish to up your "ghastly fool" with "supercilious twerp", Lessimore, so I won't.

He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a horse's
health, a boy's love, or a whore's oath.

All public schoolboys are the same---couldn't work in convulsions !!

I'll change that to " wouldn't ".

I've been very busy

What's he done?

(perhaps I don't want to know)

Google is you friend here.

Thanks gillybob

Well, I am wondering what is worse

Rees-Mogg reclining, perhaps concentrating as the debate flows over him, or the number of empty seats in the House.

Difficult one.

At least he was there.

Ooh! I see my MP in another picture, head down, is he snoozing or looking at his phone?

I'm guessing as Leader of the House he was obliged to be there?

Possibly upright and alert?

I heard on the local news tonight JRM constituents saying how they were appalled not only with his disrespect but the look of utter boredom on his face.

Good! Maybe Rees Mogg will give us a "Portillo Moment" whenever the next GE is.

I have just discovered that my local Conservative MP after 20 years of sitting on the fence and astutely following the party line, last night found some convictions to be couragous about and was among the 20 plus rebels who defied the party whip.

Three cheers for Ed Vaizey.

Actually, what the photo of Rees-Mogg reminded me of most was those Old Master paintings of naked ladies, generally of negotiable virute, posing as goddessses or similar, concealing their modesty with a wisp of fabric while looking knowingly at the person looking at them.

In my minds eye I have stripped R-M down, draped him in a wisp of fabric and had him coyly looking at the viewer. Oh, it doesn't half make him look ridiculous.

Just two of the many amusing pics of JRM doing the rounds on the Internet today!

It was very deliberate, to show his contempt for the House- arrogant, despicable and unforgivable.

As for Duncan-Smith's behaviour - disgusting

Anyone seen the video of IDS in the house. It is so awful I can’t repeat it.

Possibly upright and alert?
I am often very alert whilst prone and with eyes closed.

Haven't seen the IDS one. He seems to have totally forgotten that he is a failed party leader, I think.

What’s Ian Duncan Smith done?

Love the pictures Maw.

I think they get a good lunch in the House. I find it hard to stay awake when I have eaten well.

Growstuff you could be right about JRM, he is an MP in an area where 53% or 58%, can't remember which, voted Remain. Also while passing through a village in his area I saw a large poster for a meeting.....the heading, Are You Fed Up with Your MP.

Barmyoldbat:

‘Are you fed up with your MP?’

Barmeyoldbat In the referendum those in JRM's constituency voted 52.1% Leave and 47.9% Remain.

Best for Britain (a stop Brexit group) claim that has now changed to 51.1% Remain and 48.9% Leave

IDS was captured sitting on the green benches in the HoC doing something that you only see children do.

It relates to noses and mouths???
