You're probably describing the run-away two most popular Tory MPs in the country, there.
Is this serious?
Probably. In an age of cautious identikit politicians, both Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg are individuals who could not be mistaken for anyone else. They may be ridiculous, but they are far better known than about 640 of their colleagues in the House of Commons.
Also, Rees-Mogg's voice is one of the most soothing I've heard from a politician. At first I thought he was some character out of a Mitchell & Webb sketch but that man's voice is something else. That's an underrated advantage over his rivals
