Jeremy asks Jacob Rees-Mogg when he last took cocaine

when did you last take cocaine me when did you last take cane now I'm in the same category as you I'm just very boring it's reassuring isn't it never been offered it never been offered it no seen it no never seen it no interested no you know I think all my friends always known that it would never been my scene I backed being a schoolboy I've never been any risk of being tempted yeah it's obviously an issue now because we discovered that Michael Gove might become a prime minister who's had some sort of cocaine thing I don't know if that's happened before does it rule him out no I don't think it does I think that what people have done in that past doesn't rule them out I think that people can change their lives and reorganize their lives and it's important that one should accept that that I don't think people should be condemned for things they've done many years ago no Michael for a very long time and always liked him I think he's a highly intelligent and capable person but he's taken cocaine in the past and he's also then become a minister who sought to punish people who'd taken cocaine such as teachers banned for life for taking a drug he's been on it maybe that having taken it he's aware that it is a very risky and serious problem one for the poor not to undermine the seriousness of journalists because my father was a journalist but nonetheless journalists are not running the country and they're not educating our young or they're not in the Armed Forces and therefore to take it as a journalist is much less serious matter than to take it as a public figure if like was a teacher he would have struck himself off yes a life but then teachers have a responsibilities a minister or four young lines but but he didn't take it as a minister that is the point and teachers who take drugs before they become teachers are not stroke a it's only as a teacher okay now it's important differential
