The Tory MP told Sky News the PM will face a hard time in the House of Commons and even getting routine legislation through Parliament could be hard. Mr Rees-Mogg said: “Within Parliament, I think Brexit is relatively straight forward because the Great Repeal Bill is contingent on the referendum result. “What will be hard will be getting routine legislation through and getting every detail on Budget through and therefore the Government will have to be very cautious about any legislative programme that it has. “What it does as an executive doesn’t need Parliamentary consent will be as straight forward as it normally is but anything that requires legislation, other than as I say the Great Repeal Bill, is going to be hard.”

Despite Mrs May facing a massive backlash after the General Election blow last week, the Brexiteer said the party was uniting behind its leader following her apology during the 1922 Committee meeting. Mr Rees-Mogg said: “Since the 1922 Committee meeting last night, the mood of Tory MPs is really positive, that Theresa May’s performance last night was very strong, and today people really want to get behind her, support her and back her and get the Government up and running.” Earlier this week Theresa May tried to settle Tory nerves about her leadership as she made a heartfelt apology to MPs for last week's general election meltdown. She promised them: "I'm the person who got us into this mess and I'm the one who will get us out of it." And in a joke about her widely mocked "strong and stable" election slogan, the PM told MPs: "I am strong, stable and contrite."

Mrs May was cheered and applauded for nearly 30 seconds as she arrived at the packed first meeting of the powerful 1922 Committee of Conservative backbenchers since the poll disappointment. The PM said she had been "stuffing envelopes" for Tory campaigns since she was 12 years old and had dedicated herself to the party. "I will serve you as long as you want me to," she said in an emotional plea to staying in her job. Some were concerned that Labour had proved more adept at targeting particular groups of voters and getting their message across.
