Oh I know - the pace of life for MP’s must simply be too much now that they have cut out the inefficiency of queuing - they need some more time off to recover. The members of the Commons know how to endear themselves to the public. If it comes to the point where new laws are delayed because there was not enough legislative time I think they will have to look at themselves and perhaps re-introduce that week that they’ve taken off.

What you’ve missed here Recess is that with the ever increasing loss of our powers to Govern ourselves, as the unelected EU Commission leeches them away with the complicity of our Prime Minister and imposes more and more largely unsuitable laws directly upon us that we have no say about, there is less and less for our elected lawmakers to actually do.So therefore in order to make themselves feel more important again they make an issue over their “right” to queue jump in Parliament because they have bugger all other powers or rights compared to those imperial dictators in Brussels. Now do you get it?

Iain Dale is probably right that a lot of them do constituency work in their spare time, but by the same token I’m sure that lot of them really don’t do anything.
