MPs lose interest in their jobs.

"Lucy Fisher, Whitehall Editor YESTERDAY

The working day for MPs in the House of Commons chamber has been shorter on average this parliamentary session than in any other in the past quarter century, according to a Financial Times analysis.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been accused of presiding over a “zombie parliament”, with opposition parties arguing the relative shortness of the average parliamentary day shows an administration running “out of steam”.

The average duration of a Commons sitting day in the current parliamentary session, which began in November, has been 7 hours and 9 minutes, a record low since New Labour came to power in 1997, the FT found."

Pitiful attempts at diversion by a Tory.

Sometimes i wonder if he was just fulfilling one of his Head Boy fantasies. He must've known a picture would be taken. I bet it hangs in his study now.

He's a very odd chap but then a lot of MPs are.

No, no, no...I'm Odd.

He's got more money so gets to be eccentric.

Fractions of pennies in the pound, compared to the sleaze mountains shovelled at Tory mates

realistically - how many do we need - 100 - 200?

Depends how thinly you want to spread them.

After all, their function is - supposedly - to serve their constituencies
