Anger as Rees-Mogg films at children's church service

Sir Jacob had permission to appear with his family and a film crew for a mass at St Joseph and St Teresa Church in Somerset earlier this month, but while a sign had been put up, the families of some dozen children did not know about it.

Parents, including Gideon Davey, whose 10-year-old daughter Ottilie received her first holy communion, initially believed the film crew was there on behalf of the church. “This spiritual and deeply personal occasion will forever be stained by a selfish and self-promoting stunt,” he said.

The reason for the film crew accompanying the Conservative candidate for North East Somerset and Hanham has been kept under wraps, though earlier this month it emerged Mr ReesMogg was in talks with Discovery+ over a fly-on-the-wall documentary.
