Who is popular today?

When the pilot of a plane announces suddenly over the intercom that "this is a completely normal procedure", you know it's time to check the safety card and hope the bloke in the row in front doesn't block your way to the emergency exit slide when the lights go out and the smoke starts to roll down the aisle. So when Jacob Rees-Mogg (who is, you may like to forget, in the Cabinet as Leader of the House of Commons) reassured everybody that the suspension of Parliament for five weeks just after it has had a month-long break was just routine, no one was fooled.
