Jacob Rees-Mogg is under fire after leaving bizarre notes on empty desks in an apparent attack on civil servants working from home.

The Cabinet Office minister has been branded “a bully and “patronising”, while other critics suggested his job overseeing “Brexit opportunities” was failing to give him enough to do.

The notes read: “Sorry you were out when I visited. I look forward to seeing you in the office very soon,” and are signed “with every good wish”.
