Frida Gustafsson, 22, who is the President of Sussex University’s Student Union, posed with the Conservative MP on a trip to Parliament and is now facing a petition to have her removed as the leader. The petition to have her removed reads: “Following the recent out cry with the SU’s recent trip to the House of Parliament, there are questions about Frida Gustafsson’s leadership in the SU. “Fraternising with extremists who hold anti-choice, racist, and homophobic ideologies is not something that Sussex should endorse. “Public or private life aside, she is our elected representative, but she has given us reason to hold no confidence in her, and democratically we must hold her to account.”

He said: “I stand by the fact that I don’t think I could continue to have confidence in her. “I did vote for Frieda but if anything this is just another nail the coffin for reason that have put doubt in my faith in her. “What divides us is the continued radicalisation of right extremists, and yes I will standby that Jacob Rees-Mogg is an extremist.

“I may be radical, but I’m also simply expressing a democratic movement, and if anything this petition will have the power to change and to speak about this event better than which she has already handled it.” In response to the petition, Jacob Rees-Mogg claimed that anyone responsible are “intolerant and bigoted”. He said: “The people who have set this petition against her are intolerant and bigoted.”
