“Oh for f***’s sake”: Peer caught swearing during coronavirus debate

Virtual parliament delivers another blooper - this time courtesy of Lord Bethell.

A health minister could be heard swearing in the House of Lords after suffering technology problems during a Covid-19 debate.

Lord Bethell mumbled “oh for f***’s sake” when his second attempt to deliver a speech on coronavirus regulations was disrupted.

He was speaking from home but his initial attempt was disrupted after a few minutes.

The House adjourned for five minutes to see if the technological problems could be resolved but the minister did not fare better on his second attempt.

His final words to the chamber were: “May I say something about local restrictions.

“Over the summer recess we have combined tightening restrictions in areas with outbreaks with the easing of business restrictions, oh for f***’s sake.”

When you've got to recap Covid-19 regulations but your technology is playing up…

At this point, Lord Bethell cut out and Tory whip Baroness Penn completed his speech.

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.
