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 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 s may as well not have been in attendance at their respective sessions, since most kept dozing-off anyway!

The whole world needs to return to normality ASAP.

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.

So, just their monthly internet bill to claim then.
