I have to say though he does have a likeable quality and I can't put my finger on it. I obviously don't agree with his politics, at all
but he is quick thinking from what I've seen of him on shows like Question Time and always has a good retort. They're nearly always laughable though rather than putting any kind of good point across
I always think that he’s very similar to Boris. While not the buffoon character that Boris plays, he has that posh boy “charm” that people seem to find amusing.
He would be perfect casting if Richard Curtis made a Britcom about the Tory party.
He's more like Ann Widdecombe in my opinion. Both are conviction politicians with very strong religious beliefs, and both found popularity with the public as "the kooky eccentric" (Widdecombe on Strictly, JRM with his memes).

I can't stand JRM - but I think he gets some credit for being (relatively
) straight faced about what he thinks/believes.

Susie Boniface on Question Time seriously embarrassed Richard Burgon with the question on if he took the 10% payrise.
Timing was great with Lucas and Rees-Mogg saying they didn't.
