Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Leader of the House of Commons, said that Boris Johnson was an exceptional leader who unlocked the country when others refused to do so.

The Commons leader said in his experience, very few people do lie in public life and he added that lying in public life is not a sensible thing to do, because it gets found out .
