Jacob Rees-Mogg laughs after he's unable to name leader of Welsh Conservatives

Jacob Rees-Mogg was unable to name the leader of the Welsh Conservatives when asked in parliament.

It comes after Mr Rees-Mogg, MP for North East Somerset, called Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross a “lightweight figure” in the party on television on Wednesday night.

His comments followed a call from Mr Ross for the prime minister to resign.
