A YOUNG Tory activist has got a TATTOO on his chest in support of the eccentric backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg.

24-year-old Doncaster man Ross Atkinson posted a snap online today of the 'Moggmentum' logo sprawled across his chest.

He told followers he paid just £50 for the ink to rally behind of Mr Rees-Mogg.

The backbencher soared to online fame after posting a series of hilarious photos on Instagram.

The Brexit-backing MP has ruled out bids to run for Prime Minister, but his followers are keen to drum up support for him.

Some hardcore fans call themselves Moggmentum - a parody of Jeremy Corbyn's support group, Momentum.

The e-commerce manager, who also appears to have a nipple piercing, told Guido: "I got it done at Limited Edition Tattoo in Doncaster. It cost £50 – I paid for it with a bonus from my previous job.

"I love Jacob because he stands for a lot the same things as me philosophically, but he also has the integrity to not try and change his opinions to meet public opinion.

"He also stands for a very old caring kind of Conservatism that doesn’t support unlimited individualism but understands that the state has to take charge sometimes."

And he revealed that he used to be a member of the Tories, but then left in 2011. He rejoined last year after the referendum result.

"I understand that a lot of working class people actually share beliefs with Jacob and I reckon he could be the one to push into Labour heartlands like my town," he went on.

"Unfortunately I think I’m the only lad with one in Doncaster but who knows – maybe it will start a national trend?”

But he said the backbencher should sit out the next leadership election, but should win "the one after".

Mr Atkinson, a Conservative member in Don Valley, also has a picture of himself with the Deputy Prime Minister Damian Green in his profile.
