These are the list of words Jacob Rees-Mogg deems 'no longer fit for purpose'. In a long list of dos and don’ts, he also asks that all MPs are addressed with the title Esq after their name and tells staff “CHECK your work”. The EU has issued several directives over the decades asking member states to use metric measurements. The UK has been a late adopter of the system, continuing to use miles rather than kilometres on road signs, for example. Mr Rees-Mogg makes clear he would prefer staff to always use imperial measurements, most of which were phased out from the mid-1960s.
