Face coverings have been made mandatory for everyone working in the House of Commons except MPs.

In updated guidance, the Commons authorities said all staff, visitors, contractors and press must cover their faces to combat the spread of Covid.

But it remains up to individual MPs to decide whether to follow suit - and many Conservatives have chosen not to.

Sajid Javid has said he will wear a mask for Wednesday's Budget when the chamber will be packed.

But the health secretary said on Monday it was a "personal decision" for ministers and backbenchers as to whether they did too.

Arrogant b**ards

Interestingly, I did notice that most of the Tory MP's were wearing masks in the Commons today, when Rishi Sunak gave his budget address. 

You're absolutely right - as it applies to health, and we're all made from the same DNA, with the same capacity to spread/catch the virus, the rule should apply to all. Not just some.

Keir Starmer's tested positive for covid. Hence why he wasn't there today.
