Rees-Mogg, the 'metropolitan establishment' and his own 'establishment'


When Jacob Rees-Mogg signalled that there is something bad called the 'metropolitan establishment', we can ask, which part of himself is not part of this metropolitan establishment? He is using Trump-Bannon and Hitlerian tactics, attacking an 'elite' in order to strengthen a national elite, his own one.

Which bit of the following is not 'metropolitan establishment'? 

"Rees-Mogg was born into a wealthy family in Hammersmith, London...he worked in the City of London for Lloyd George Management until 2007, then co-founded a hedge fund management business, Somerset Capital Management LLP."
