Summary

Jacob Rees-Mogg has the dubious honour of joining Christopher Hope at the Conservative Party Conference in the wake of the government's 45p tax cut U-turn. The Business and Energy Secretary scoffs at the idea that the Chancellor should resign, has strong words about how he'll approach China in his new role and declares that he would be more than happy for fracking to take place in his garden.

Plus, Rees-Mogg delivers a polite jibe at our guest yesterday, Michael Gove, and sounds a death knell to the idea of a royal flagship (sorry, Chopper!).
