TORY MP Jacob Rees Mogg has announced the birth of his sixth child - and given him a very unusual name.

The Brexit-backing politician has named the latest addition to the Mogg clan Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher Mogg.

The tot, who he has with wife Helena, will be brother to five others.

His name is Roman, and means "polished", but it could also be a reference to one of the five popes who shared the same name.

The MP is no stranger to names for his kids that are a tad different to the mainstream.

In 2016 he named his fifth child Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius Mogg.

And the couple also have Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, and Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam.

The only girl of the clan, however, is simply called Mary.

While the MP now has enough children to form his own volleyball team, The Times reported that Mrs Mogg has said the MP wants a whopping TWELVE children - enough for his own cricket team.

The dad-of-six is a backbench MP for North East Somerset, and has shot to internet fame lately because of his witty Instagram posts.

His jokes have gathered him an 18,000 strong set of followers, and many are arguing it should be him to run for the Tory leadership, when the time comes.
