Jacob Rees-Mogg backs Boris Johnson for PM saying he will “save the nation” (Image: GETTY)
In an article in The Sun, Mr Rees-Mogg said Mr Johnson, the current front-runner in the race to replace Theresa May, is the "right" person to lead the nation amidst the current "constitutional crisis". The Tory Party politician said Mr Johnson "believes in democracy" which is an essential characteristic in the next Prime Minister. The North East Somerset MP said the weakness of the Government and the desire of some MPs to run against the people has changed the course of the Brexit debate so it is now a question of who will govern and how.
Mr Rees-Mogg said the leading Brexiteer would back the people and deliver Brexit.
He said: "Boris believes in the British people and will back their wisdom in deciding to vote to leave.
"He will ensure we depart on 31st October.
"This will begin the process of reuniting the nation.
