Protect yourself from COVID

Conservative MPs don't need to wear masks during debates because they know each other, Jacob Rees-Mogg has said.

The Commons leader said the party's "convivial, fraternal spirit" meant they were acting in line with government Covid guidance.

The reason they aren't wearing masks is that a lot of them have had it and they are going herd immunity.

The reason they aren't wearing masks is that a lot of them have had it and they are going herd immunity.

The reason is that they feel it restricts their personal freedoms. Loads of them are anti-mask, anti-lockdown. Probably look at the other MPs as sheep for following government advice.

While there is some justification to the "we see each other normally anyway" line, they don't spend time with the Opposition MPs who are in the same room.
I don't think the advice is to wear a mask if people you normally see are present, it's if ONLY people you normally see are present.
All a farce really.
