Jacob Rees-Mogg's voice can be described as a caricature of an overinflated aristocrat, with an accent so posh it sounds like it’s been marinated in centuries of old money and privilege. His intonation oozes with the kind of smug superiority that seems more suited to delivering lectures on the proper etiquette of tea sipping rather than engaging in modern political discourse. It's the vocal equivalent of a monocle and top hat, utterly detached from the common rabble. Thank God he’s gone!

[@delcat8168]
