Given 70's the average age in the Upper House, I'm rather surprised to learn how readily members adapted to the technology involved. And :iagree: with Jacob Rees-Mogg's hope that MPs don't resort to this practice.

Mind you, having been a spectator from the public galleries of BOTH parliamentary chambers, I'd say the :olddude:s may as well not have been in attendance at their respective sessions, since most kept dozing-off :NEW5: anyway!

The whole world needs to return to normality ASAP.

Once the vaccine has been rolled out, people need to man up and get on with life as before. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Should save the taxpayers a fortune then... with the massive reduction in the bill for the expenses associated with enabling the attendance, participation, and lifestyle of these 'entitled' ones. :NoNo:

So, just their monthly internet bill to claim then. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
