MPs wouldn’t need face masks ‘if they worked a bit harder’, says Jacob Rees-Mogg
Published at : September 21, 2021
Jacob Rees-Mogg has said opposition MPs could avoid wearing face masks in the House of Commons “if they work a bit harder”.
Scottish Nationalist Party MP Pete Wishart criticised maskless Tory MPs appearing in a packed Commons chamber during Prime Minister’s Questions – just one day after the government advised people should wear them in crowded places when surrounded by people they don't normally meet.
Mr Rees-Mogg hit back, accusing opposition MPs of not attending parliament regularly enough to avoid the need for masks.
