In the midst of the most crucial debate on the future of the United Kingdom, in the open fire on behalf of Brexit without agreement, the spokesman of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, decided to extend its entire length (1, 88 meters) and take a nap in the green seats of the British Parliament.

The deputies are forbidden to take photos among themselves, but the image of Rees-Mogg was captured from the opposition seats and has given rise to an intense and parallel debate about the disdain of the ultraconservative deputy towards everything at stake.

"There was a lot of talk about democracy that night and yet, the leader of the House of Commons showed with his 'body language' a contempt for Parliament and the people," he wrote on Twitter to the deputy of the Green Party, Caroline Lucas , one of the first to repair in the long "head" of Rees-Mogg, who remained stretched and at ease (adjusting his glasses with his eyes closed), despite the cries of his colleagues increasing: "Sit down!".

Caroline Lucas herself asked that Rees-Mogg's nap be recorded in the annals of Parliament, including the remarkable fact of its extension, "occupying three seats and lying down as if what she was hearing seemed very boring." Labor MP Anna Turley went further and described Rees-Mogg's attitude as "the physical incarnation of arrogance, disrespect and contempt for our Parliament."

The image of the sleeping deputy went viral on the networks and led to dozens of "memes" throughout the second school day in the House of Commons after the summer break. Jacob Rees-Mogg, 50, was promoted by 'premier' Boris Johnson in July as fair payment for his conspicuous defense of the extreme Brexit, at the head of the European Research Group ultaconservative faction.
