Not mogg

No High Tories @Marcus Antonius But they are a dying breed maybe 1/3 of current Tory mps

So like 100 or so

Mogg is "reactionary" and catholic

:DDD

High Tories as in like high born?

Yes and no, it's a reference to that I think

meta do you have a good source for what’s going on rn? like news article or something

Idk your brit system

fucking brit politics

i can loom if not

@Marcus Antonius High just means Trad in this case

But not all of them are literally nobility

Originally it meant literal nobles and gentry tho

I see

This is in the 1700s tho

Mogg's dad was a baron right?

Lol

Looool revolt of the barons against a corrupt ruler again

His Dad was editor of the Times

Rich dude

His father in law was a Baron

Further back, his own ancestors are literally nobility

I mean look a his surname

Wasn't he really born into the upper-middle-class though? Like upper-upper-middle-class

His father was appointed a peer, but nothing inheritable

@Boffin Frog Yeah that’s hoe it works

It's good enough for now compared to 99% of the dreck

Go back a few hundred years he’s noble but nobility declines until your just a rich person who. No longer owns the family seat. His Father did own a manor though @Boffin Frog

I wish my father owned a manor

Gorgeous. When I'm a millionaire, I think I'll build a manor house. None of this dumb McMansion boring stuff, a full country estate
But in the U.S., being a Colonial

do we like davis or no @Metaphysical Monarchist

Yes

Great guy

McMansion's should all be razed to the ground

so him resigning means he could potentially get may’s spot?

in election

Also they can’t smear him as an elite he’s literally a commoner who’s pulled himself up by his bootstraps

I see the pro Brexit part of the party consolidating behind someone like Davis
