The Tory toff has disappeared from the Conservatives national campaign after appearing to suggest he was smarter that the people who died in the Grenfell tower tragedy. This morning, flanked by senior Cabinet minister Michael Gove and former Labour MP Gisela Stuart, Mr Johnson refused to support his under fire minister. Asked flat out about the MPs absence from the campaign the PM said he would not make anymore comments about because it would look as if he is "measuring the curtains" before the election. Asked previously about position of Sajid Javid , the PM hasn't hesitated to get his measuring tape out and offer support to the Chancellor. Jacob Rees-Mogg stayed away from the Tory election manifesto launch and it looks like he has been sidelined from the Tory campaign. He infamously used a live radio interview to suggest victims of the Grenfell Tower inferno could have been saved if they had used “common sense” and fled the blazing tower block when fire ripped through it in June 2017, killing 72 people. That came after the posh Tory was caught lounging on Parliament's green leather benches during a crunch debate, infuriating Opposition MPs and TV viewers. Multi-millionaire Old Etonian Mr Rees-Mogg was even impossible to track down when the Mirror sent our own reporter to find him in his seat. It was the second time today that the PM has refused to back Mr Rees-Mogg. Earlier on LBC Nick Ferrari asked Mr Johnson where "Moggie" is - referring to Jacob Rees-Mogg. On the first reference, Mr Johnson said Mr Rees-Mogg was "campaigning actively around the country". Asked if he spoke to Mr Rees-Mogg about his comments on Grenfell, Mr Johnson said: "I'm not going to go into my conversations with colleagues." On whether he will appoint Mr Rees-Mogg in his cabinet following the election, Mr Johnson said: "I'm not going to get into measuring the curtains-type conversations."
