The Brexiteer has been subject to abuse in front of his children

Jacob Rees-Mogg was subject to abuse whilst leaving his family home alongside his children on Tuesday. Protesters greeted the backbench Tory politician with a banner that read: "We must devastate the avenues where the wealthy live." As well as that, people in the crowd reportedly shouted at his children: "Your daddy’s a totally horrible person, lots of people don’t like your daddy, do you know that?", as well as calling him "a latin-eating toff" and questioning his treatment of the family's nanny, Victoria Crook. The group protesting are known as Class War, an organisation claiming to be a “working class action group”. Footage of the incident shows police standing guard as a small group of demonstrators confronting the Conservative politician on several issues whilst his wife and four of his six children were there. The protester also asked Rees-Mogg if he gives the nanny any time off, his wife replied "every weekend".
