I read this a little over two years ago, though my copy is long since lost to time and life circumstances. I'll likely be buying it again in the future to re-read.

Few people embody the Eighteenth Century quite as well as Mr. Rees-Mogg. Even fewer people are such exemplars of all that is wrong with moneyed classes who perceive that they are somehow both different from and benevolent to those "below them."

This is particularly interesting in the context of the money problems suffered within recent generations of Mr Rees-Mogg's own family. While some have borrowed an expression oft associated with Martin Shkreli to describe him, and some try their best to ignore him, he's a character worthy of study - even if only as a manual of how not to represent anyone except one's self in Parliament.
