Face coverings have been made mandatory for everyone working in the House of Commons except MPs.
But it remains up to individual MPs to decide whether to follow suit - and many Conservatives have chosen not to.But the health secretary said on Monday it was a "personal decision" for ministers and backbenchers as to whether they did too.MPs are not employed by the Commons authorities and cannot be forced to wear masks.
But Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg last week said Conservatives did not need to do so because they knew each other well, and this meant they were complying with government guidance.latest official guidanceIt comes as the World Health Organisation urged MPs to wear masks during Chancellor Rishi Sunak's Budget speech, when there is likely to be standing room only in the Commons chamber.
"This virus, it is absolutely unstoppable, it gets everywhere, and so we have to do everything we possibly can to stop it.
Except MPs......Becuase?
Those guys are bullet proof
🖕🖕🖕
Coz its everyone else that's shouting atop their voices and spitting at each other.... clearly not the Honorable Members.
Typical, teaching by example!
One can only hope and pray natural selection occurs
Yes! The virus is not allowed to touch the MPs. OK?
What chance do we have with hopeless shower.

Sounds like the US where members of Congress are exempt from everything except pay rises.
The higher position you hold the less you are obliged to global order. They are enjoying their privilege now which obviously won’t take long. What then ?!
waynetlc What a load of bollox, typical of this government
Madness
By not wearing a mask they can't hide how glum they look TurdReich
Right thing. But the MP's. They have to.
The one rule rule again
Next. All MP'S who think they can flout their own rules will be sent to prison for considering that they are above the PEOPLE THEY SERVE!
bbclaurak Why are MP`s more important . And do`s COVID know not to effect MP`s as they are special ,unlike the rest of us
Typical government, do as I say, not as I do. Basically just listen shut up and obey
Johnson exceptionalism 🤬
bbclaurak Pride before a fall here. Their arrogance gets in the way of common sense. That are supposed to be of the people not above the people. It illustrates their attitude and why we are in such a mess.
🥴🥴🥴
I know most MP'S think they are a superior life form but just get a grip and start leading by example. WEAR A MASK.!!
Do as I say, not as I do
Have you heard of the pro_larva Covid killing mask?
MPs are such hypocrites
One law for us!
All in it together. I think not. 😩
They treat us all with such contempt. They're not even hiding it anymore.
Excuse me, what where now!? 🤯
Makes perfect sense
👊💦 to a man…
Just look at that photo ? and we voted them in to run the country. and, they have wrecked the country and took us for fools...........
Two tier society, lead by example. Down you beasts
If they're not wearing them neithe Not mandatory for us either, try to enforce it Boris and crew!
Whyyyy!?! Mandatory for everyone now! They are not above us they represent us!
'You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy' Obi Wan had it right. What did the country do to deserve being represented and govered by that rabble?
So if you know people well there is no need to wear a mask? Funny how it spreads through households then
The virus doesn’t affect reptiles 😂
The HS says masks are a choice. Masks, even cloth, are proven to reduce spread of infection ( CDC 7/5/21). Rishi + JRM + UKHS say risk of infection reduced if you know someone. This is factually incorrect. ‘Bob’ believed it + so thought less likely to get ill at work where he
Here we go again, masks by 5/11/2021, lockdown by 20/12/2021. Freedom gone forever.
The lower echelon ‘riff raff’ must always know their inherent lowly position in society. Certainly NOT share the same ‘convivial’ space as ones lords and masters… those that are of course born into privilege
And they wonder why they get so much abuse
I think the MP’s should be reminded it’s Guy Fawkes night soon , & to stop taking the piss !!🔥
went to Monaco a few years back for GP, weather forecast dreadful, I trolled the Internet 'til I found a 'dry' forecast, I chose to use that one-still rained. Think BorisJohnson has asked all his advisers about masks, lockdowns, etc and chosen the one that suit him best.COVID19
They are the elite they make the rules pay them selves stupid salaries cheat on expenses the most corrupt place in the U.K.
BBCPolitics Outrageous. Nobody should have to wear masks in these settings - unless they want to - why should parliamentary staff be treated this way?
