Nothing to say about the hypocritical labour party mp mixing with thousands yesterday?
Pretty sure he didn't need planning permission for that.
Personally I wouldn't be doing anything that doesn't maintain social distancing. To be honest I haven't changed my behaviour at all since the restrictions were eased, would rather wait and see how it plays out.
That said I think a protest for a cause you believe strongly in is a better justification than taking a trip for your wife's birthday, day out at the beach / park / Ikea etc. However other MPs managed to attend the protest to show support while maintaining social distancing so not sure why he couldn't do the same.
Of course the big difference is that he was open and honest about what he was doing as opposed to trying to conceal it and then lying when caught out. Fortunately for Labour its a non-issue as Starmer had already got rid of him so he's just a back bencher now and therefore can't be sacked.
