Uplifting?

It is a bad thing when Jacob Rees-Mogg makes one think of brassieres. Or, indeed, vice versa.

Rees-Mogg is now purely a ridiculous figure without complication, and he has become so after his majority fell by 5.9 per cent this year. People will only put up for so long with having a comedy turn as their Member of Parliament. Boris Johnson's majority was cut in half in June, and he now sits for a Labour target seat. Jacob Rees-Mogg, take note.

But on the subject of foodbanks, yes, that people bother to create and sustain them does indeed manifest the best of human nature and the best about this country. That there is any need for them to exist, however, manifests the worst of human nature and the worst about this country.
