Mr Rees-Mogg then mentioned: “Our jolly good fellow has needed to depart.

“But we believe in freedom of speech, so he can have his National Loonies Conference next week, and he can see how many people he gets.”

Environmental activists Extinction Rebellion have since duty for the disruption.

A publish on the group’s Twitter account mentioned: “XR disrupts the National Conservatism Conference, calling out the fascist ideologies of senior Cabinet members and MPs.

“This morning, an strange particular person stepped onto the stage and interrupted Jacob Rees-Mogg’s opening speech on the National Conservatism Conference.”

In his speech, Mr Rees-Mogg slammed the Government’s choice to reduce post-Brexit plans for a bonfire of EU legal guidelines.

The loyalist of former prime minister Boris Johnson informed the convention that the repeal up to now of EU legal guidelines was “pathetically under-ambitious”.

He said it was “very unlucky” that Rishi Sunak had broken his promise, adding: “The give up to the blob dangers exposing the Government to ridicule.”

But Mr Rees-Mogg warned that it was “important” to support the Government because “the choice is much worse”.

The three-day gathering in London will also feature speakers including Home Secretary Suella Braverman, Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove, outspoken Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson and former Brexit negotiator Lord Frost.
