‘Creamy milk will nourish your inner Tory’, Rees-Mogg tells GB News viewers

Jacob Rees-Mogg has urged GB News viewers to drink creamy, full-fat milk to nourish their “inner Tory”.

The presenter, who also works as an MP from time to time, dedicated a segment on his nightly show to the dairy staple after sales of whole milk crept up year-on-year.

Over the past three months, sales of full fat milk are up 2 per cent compared with the same time period last year – representing millions more litres of the creamy stuff.

According to Waitrose data, a third of people switched from eating a low-fat dairy product to a full-fat one in 2023, with the under-35s most likely to have made the change.

TikTok, once a haven for vegans, is believed to be behind the rise, with influencers extolling the health benefits of whole dairy, such as Omega-3 fatty acids.

It can also help you “nourish your inner Tory”, according to Rees-Mogg, who delved over different milk types to find out which ones cut muster.
