Can anyone explain why Rees-Mogg was trying to get the MPs back into one room rather than continue with the remote working and voting that seemed to be going ok?
Was it to lead by example and get back to normality to show the rest of the UK it was fine? Or was it a way of getting more noise into the chamber to distract from Johnsons bullshit with more partizan cheering when he squeezed out another three word slogan?
Whatever the intention it has backfired big time with Alok Sharma having to self isolate with symptoms and therefore the whole of parliament as well following the new track and trace guidelines.
Well done to the member representing the 18th Century

I think it is lead by example and rightly so .how can they say schools go back when they are in their back gardens fiddling their expences .....I'm not cynical or anything.

Because of the shambolic way in which this govt has handled the crises we should still be on full lockdown, however because we need to save the economy we have to take much bigger risks than everyone else in the EU. But they should be managed risks which would involve everyone who can working from home. MPs can do there job just as effectively (in ineffectively in the case of many of them) from home.
Why do they need to all sit together and spread the virus?

Getting them back was not needed but understandable.
What I don't understand in this day and age why they still use such an archaic way of voting.
Surely can be done electronically?
Jacob Rees Mogg had quickly gone from a curiosity to an absolute prick since he's been part of the government.

Becuase every twat in the country is on Facebook saying I'm not going back to work / school / personal hygiene etc until the MPs are back in Parliament.
Doesn't stop those same twats filling the beaches cheek to jowell at the weekend though
Or rioting last night
