Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has revealed that his 16-year-old son received hate mail after July’s general election.<\/p>\n

Speaking to an Edinburgh Festival Fringe audience on Sunday, Sir Jacob said it was an “awful thing to do” and “fundamentally nasty”. <\/p>\n

He also said he was “very strongly” considering standing at the next general election<\/a> after losing the newly-created North East Somerset and Hanham seat to Labour – however he added he was not “absolutely certain”.<\/p>\n

Sir Jacob said: “To write to a 16-year-old is just loathsome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He added: \u201cIt is not my son\u2019s fault that I have the political views that I do and it is cowardly [to write to him]. If you don\u2019t agree with me then you should get in touch with me \u2013 put your name on the bottom of it.”<\/p>\n

The former Tory minister, who lost by more than 5,000 votes<\/a> to Labour’s Dan Norris at the 4 July ballot, said his party had \u201cdeserved\u201d to lose the election.<\/p>\n

Sir Jacob added losing his seat had not been a “shock” and he had written to his children the day before the election saying he would “probably lose”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I tried my best to warn them that I was going to lose my seat,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe governed badly, we hadn\u2019t done what we told people we would do.<\/p>\n

” We put up taxes when we said that we wouldn\u2019t, we hadn\u2019t dealt with migration and we hadn\u2019t governed well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t pretend we didn\u2019t deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
