I am furious about this. They have tried virtual sessions with electronic voting, and it works. How can they possibly justify making hundreds of MPs travel up and down the country, carrying the virus with them in some cases?
Those who sit for seats other than in England, should, as paddyanne says, still be observing lockdown at home, but no, they have to break our rules. Those from the North of England are coming from areas with a higher incidence of Covid-19 than London, so doesn't the creep JRM care about that either? Not everyone lives in the Home Counties, but those who don't are second-class citizens in his eyes, it would seem.
Of course, any MP who is shielding, or living with someone who is shielding, is completely disenfranchised. That includes some Tories, so maybe they can put some pressure on the government.
All this so that Mr Johnson can cover up his inability to speak coherently in public!!
