In which timezone?

the press had to force their hands

What about the 19 subsidised restaurants in the Commons?

no alcohol 🍸 required to dim already dim wit minds

'bars' is there more than one WTF!!

Put on a dress code too, Covid hates dressing up as much as it hates staying up after 10.

Until we're caught, again

Ok, sure. Strokes beard

Commons confirms u-turn after being caught with pants down.

Such sacrifice, so honourable

Okay, but do they have to close and chuck everyone out at 10pm? Is there anything to stop them buying a massive bottle of champers at 9.59pm and staying as long as they like?

Doesn't this just mean it's self-service after 10?

The annoying part of this is they waited until they were busted.

So they got busted and now have stopped.

Pity, I was hoping to pop by for a Barnard Castle on the rocks

good

Politicians exempt from 10pm bar curfew as House of Commons boozers use sneaky loopholeBARS in the House of Commons are not subject to the new 10pm curfew imposed across England in order to stop the spread of the coronavirus, it has been revealed. Absolutely fed up with the controversy surrounding this. As a former MP myself I can tell you politicians work damned hard and don’t follow the conventional working hours most people do, so 10pm is barely 7pm in an MP’s hardworking day. Another one rule for them and another rule for everyone else So government following Orwells 1984 and Animal Farm to the letter.

Pub curfew backlash: Boris under pressure to make U-turn on 10pm closing timeBORIS JOHNSON is under mounting pressure to make a U-turn on the curfew imposed on the hospitality sector by leading MPs and Industry chiefs, amid fears the early closure is doing more harm than good in preventing the spread of coronavirus. It's very clear, across the UK, that this ill-thought-out 10pm curfew, has pushed everyone out of venues with socially distanced measures, into the streets, into off-licences, supermarkets, overcrowded public transport & house parties. These are privileged under 45s the government think are fit to run the country while locking up the over 45s 🤔🤔 ... Think yourselves lucky he didn’t shut them down which seems would’ve been better all round 🤷‍♀️ ... what’s the difference between 10 or 11pm🤷‍♀️🤔🤡😡
