Jacob Rees-Mogg says Ruth Davidson should not be allowed to marry

CONSERVATIVE hardline Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg has argued Ruth Davidson should not be allowed to marry her female partner.

Interviewed yesterday, the high-profile backbencher praised the Scottish Tory leader as a “formidable person with great political skills”. He was then asked: “But you wouldn’t support her marriage to the woman she wants to marry?”

Rees-Mogg replied: “This is a sacramental issue. The sacrament of marriage is one that is defined by the church, not by the state, and the sacrament of marriage is available to a man and a woman. And this is the teaching of the Catholic Church which I accept.”

...

Responding to Rees-Mogg’s comment, a Scottish Conservative spokesman said: “Ruth is a passionate believer and campaigner for same-sex marriage. While others may hold a different view, that won’t change Ruth’s commitment to equality.”
