Watch: Tory MP’s facemask self-own will make him cover his face… with his hands

"He’ll still be sat there now with that gormless expression on his face! Perfect," wrote one Twitter user.

A handful of backbench Tories appeared maskless in the Commons chamber on Monday, with one openly shouting his opposition to pleas from Labour MPs to put one on and another suggesting the wearing of face coverings to provide protection from the virus is “mumbo jumbo”.

Some were seen at today’s PMQs still not wearing masks as the PM was accused of holding a boozy party last winter when the rest of us were not allowed to.

Boris Johnson did not deny that a “boozy” Christmas party was held in Number 10 during the lockdown but insisted that no rules were broken.

The prime minister was accused by Sir Keir Starmer of “taking the British public for fools” as the Labour leader insisted that any festive event would have been against the rules that applied in 2020.

So shouldn’t our elected members lead by example?

Berry vs Nicholson

Well, Conservative MP Jake Berry and SNP MP John Nicolson were on TV debating the importance of politicians doing just that during the pandemic.

Berry thinks he has made an epic point by questioning why Nicolson isn’t working from home in accordance to the Scottish government’s guidance.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
