Jacob Rees-Mogg congratulates Conservative members for managing to attend the party’s annual conference in Birmingham, “in spite of the best efforts of Mr Mick Lynch”, following a weekend of nationwide rail strikes.
The business secretary thanked audience members for, “giving me almost as warm a welcome as I got outside the hall”.
Mr Rees-Mogg was booed by protesters as he arrived at the conference under police escort.
