Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg has told Andrew Marr today on live radio to “get a sense of perspective” after he opened up about his dad’s death while Boris Johnson partied.
In an extraordinary clash, the Cabinet minister stood by his remark that Partygate was “fluff” even after the broadcasting legend revealed his “intense anger”.
Mr Marr - who presents the LBC show Tonight with Andrew Marr after quitting the BBC last year aftter a 21-year stint - said: “I buried my father on the week that one of those parties took place and it was a party. “He was an elder of the Church of Scotland - that church was locked and barred. “We had a small gathering, most of the family weren’t there.
The other parishioners he would have loved to be there weren’t allowed to be there because we followed the rules.“And I felt intensely angry about that - and I do not regard this as fluff.” Mr Rees-Mogg at first avoided answering the point, instead saying closing churches was “great mistake”, report Mirror Online.
