Jacob Rees-Mogg slams neighbours who called police on Boris

Jacob Rees Mogg has today blasted neighbours who called the police on Boris Johnson and his girlfriend as 'Corbynista curtain twitchers'.

The Tory MP also hit out at anarchists who set up camp outside PM hopeful Johnson's South London home after a recording of the couple's late night row was leaked.

Mr Rees Mogg branded the protest by anti establishment group Class War as 'absolutely dreadful' forcing the Tory leadership favourite, 55, and partner Carrie Symonds, 31, to flee their home.

The ERG chief , who was also targeted by the same anarchist group in September last year, when they barked insults at his children outside his London home, said the events are 'not a good place for politics to be.'

It comes as Boris and Carrie were spotted looking smitten with friends saying they are still 'very much in love.' The couple went into hiding after their neighbours Eve Leigh and Tom Penn recorded their angry row and gave it to the press over the weekend.  

Mr Rogg told LBC today: 'I think it is absolutely dreadful, I really do. 

'I think the idea that snooping neighbours are recording what is going on for political advantage and then class war protesters are coming to politician's front door, which happened to me as well, is not a good place for politics to be.  

'I think that politicians should feel safe and unmolested in their own homes. I think that that is a reasonable thing to ask for. I think peaceful protest is absolutely right and part of a free society.

'But the aggression of the hard left is really appalling and not how British politics has normally been carried out, and snoopers are always unattractive.

'Curtain twitchers, Corbynista curtain twitchers are not attractive.'

In September 2018, activists told Mr Rees-Mogg's children – including his six-year-old son – that their daddy is a 'totally horrible person' in a protest outside their home.  

Activist Ian Bone, wearing a flat cap and leaning on a stick, was filmed shouting: 'Your daddy won't answer the question. Your daddy is a totally horrible person.

'A lot of people don't like your daddy, you know that. No he's probably not told you about that.' 

At the time Mr Rees-Mogg appeared unconcerned about the attack and told Mail Online: 'It was a small protest by anarchists which not surprisingly was disorganised, unpunctual and short lived.'

He later sought to play down the incident, insisting his children were 'absolutely fine', despite the barracking. 

Mr Bone is currently at Mr Johnson's flat, saying the couple 'weren't welcome in the area.'

The veteran campaigner, 71, was joined by colleagues who waved banners and placards reading 'F*** Boris' and 'We must devastate the avenues where the wealthy live', while they also plastered the couple's front door with offensive stickers.

When asked whether his actions may drive a 31-year-old woman out of her flat, Mr Bone said: 'I don't think she will come back – they will regret moving here and not Notting Hill or somewhere like that.

'She's not welcome here or any other working class area – and neither is he.'

Meanwhile Mr Johnson and Miss Symonds were pictured hand-in-hand and smiling in the Sussex countryside yesterday afternoon, undermining claims their relationship is in crisis. 

A friend of the couple has told MailOnline that claims they splitting up are smears and revealed the Tory leadership favourite, 55, intends to marry his girlfriend 'as soon as the time is right' after his divorce from second wife Marina goes through. 

Friends of the former foreign secretary say it may be impossible for him to return to the £700,000 property in Camberwell, south London. 

One said the couple had spent the weekend together and their 'loving and doting' relationship was 'stronger than ever'.

Mr Johnson is refusing to break his silence on the domestic incident in the early hours of Friday that saw police officers called. 

Jeremy Hunt raised the pressure on his Tory leadership rival by saying 'someone who wants to be prime minister should answer questions on everything'.

As MPs who are backing Mr Johnson also called for him to reveal what happened:

It emerged that Miss Symonds was accused by a Johnson aide of helping his rival Sajid Javid; Supporters of Mr Johnson privately voiced concerns about his relationship with her; Pictures emerged of Mr Johnson buying the wine that spilled on Miss Symonds sofa, apparently sparking the row; His allies claimed he would call the bluff of rebel Conservative MPs threatening to bring down the Government to stop a No Deal Brexit; Liz Truss, a Cabinet rank ally of Mr Johnson, warned it was not inevitable that he would be crowned Tory leader.

Ian Bone, the lifelong anarchist who has advocated violence and 'hates the rich'

Veteran activist and grandfather Ian Bone, 71, was once dubbed Britain's most dangerous man after the Class War newspaper he launched in 1982 became so incendiary it featured pictures of beaten up policemen.

The full-time anarchist – who's been on state benefits since leaving university – now walks with a stick thanks to Parkinson's disease. 

Bone has been protesting since the 1980s and is a publisher with class activist publications, Class War and The Bristolian.

Class War became a class movement as well as a newspaper, which at its height sold 15,000 copies weekly and supported striking miners, dockers, print workers and demos including the Brixton Riots of 1981, before the publication was launched.

Bone went on Bash the Rich marches (Bash the Rich is also the title of his autobiography). Just a decade ago he advocated violence to overthrow the state.

While still a weekly paper, Class War dubbed itself 'Britain's most unruly tabloid'. 

Bone admits to having a working class hatred for the rich as his own father was a butler. 

He lived in Grenfell from 1983-1986 and knew several residents who were caught up in the fire there where 72 people died.

He went on to protest outside The Shard when Grenfell residents weren't being re-housed as there were 10 £50m empty luxury flats inside the state-of-the-art tower.

Bone was taken to the High Court by Qatari royal family, owner of The Shard, last year to stop his protests against them before their lawyers withdrew their threat of an injunction. 

Yesterday, anarchists perched themselves on the steps of Miss Symonds' flat to protest against her lover and his party's policies. Six Class War supporters shouted abuse and held up posters reading 'f*** Boris, f*** the government'.

Camberwell residents have also shown their distaste at having Mr Johnson as their neighbour and posters mocking him were put up before Friday's altercation.

He stayed out of the spotlight yesterday as his campaign team held talks on how to deal with the crisis.

A friend of Mr Johnson and Miss Symonds told the Mail: 'They've spent the weekend together after being driven out of their home in Camberwell and actually the events of the past few days have made them stronger than ever but they really shouldn't have to put up with this nonsense. They're in a very loving and stable relationship. They totally dote on one another.'

The domestic dispute was recorded by a neighbour and reported to police. 

Neighbours claimed Miss Symonds could be heard screaming and telling Mr Johnson to 'get off me' and 'get out of my flat'.

Sources last night claimed that in recent weeks there had been tensions between Miss Symonds and members of Mr Johnson's leadership campaign team. In a sign of the acrimony, one aide who is working for Mr Johnson told friends they believed she had been helping Mr Javid, the Home Secretary, with his failed leadership bid.

A MP who is backing Mr Johnson said it was 'probably best' for the couple to decide whether or not to get married. 'A decision needs to be made,' the MP added.

A source involved in Mr Johnson's leadership campaign said: 'The bigger worry is that this brings his personal life into play more generally. Things that might previously have been seen as 'not relevant' or 'not in scope' suddenly become fair game.

'Some MPs have been worried about Carrie, but I think she's politically savvy enough to know how to play things without causing damage to Boris.'

Asked if Johnson is fit to be Prime Minister, Bone said: 'He certainly ain't - he ain't even fit to be a Pie Minister.'

Anarchist circus at Boris' flat: Protesters urge PM hopeful to move to a posher part of the capital as marijuana-smoking neighbour defends him as 'cool-guy'   

By Jim Norton, Jemma Carr and Jemma Buckley for the Daily Mail    

The street outside Boris Johnson's love nest descended into a circus at the weekend as campaigners swooped in.

Simmering discontent among residents at their new neighbour exploded into the open after news broke of Mr Johnson's angry row with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds.

Posters were plastered across railings opposite the South London flat mocking the Tory leadership contender, with one urging him to move back to a swankier part of the capital.

Anarchists stood on the steps of the building carrying posters and shouting. Seemingly using the incident as an excuse to protest against the Conservative party, one veteran warned the couple would 'regret' moving to the area.

Mr Johnson and Miss Symonds, 31, have not been seen at the Grade II listed building since police were called in the early hours of Friday.

The couple who recorded the row and shared it with The Guardian newspaper – Eve Leigh and Tom Penn – were also not home yesterday. Miss Leigh has admitted making an offensive gesture at Mr Johnson when they met on the steps of their building last week.

But neighbour Wayne Moseley, 47, defended the politician, saying he was a 'cool guy' who would chat on the steps while Mr Moseley smoked cannabis.

The film director – who goes by the name Yuppie Wayne – even criticised his neighbours for recording the argument.

Describing Mr Penn as a 'peaceful guy', he added: 'I'll be honest with you, neighbour to neighbour, no I don't think it was very fair.

'We all have domestic arguments with our partners.' Describing how he would see Mr Johnson 'all the time', he said 'I've met him on the doorstep, when I'm smoking my marijuana out here. I thought he was a cool guy.'
