Jacob Rees‑Mogg, the Member of Parliament for North East Somerset from 2010 to 2024, has described hatred of the Latin Mass as a “peculiarity of a few ageing liberals”.

In a diary piece for The Spectator, he describes keeping quail, bumping into the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, attending Henley Regatta for the first time, and guessing that on the day of the Resurrection “we will all pop up and fiddle with our cufflinks before ruminating on the beautiful Somerset countryside.”
