Pick of our readers’ comments: A weasel’s words

October 1, 2020

In response to Kathy Gyngell: Our MPs have no conscience – so we must supply one, paul parmenter wrote:

‘Health Secretary Matt Hancock has promised MPs votes “wherever possible” on England or UK-wide coronavirus rules before they come into force. But he warned that some urgent regulations could not be held up.’

There are no circumstances in which such a vote should ever be ‘impossible’. That weasel Hancock is attempting to get his excuses in for his next set of dictatorial decisions without having to consult Parliament. He is being corrupted by power in front of our eyes. And our supposed representatives either cannot see it, or choose to look the other way.
