MPs leaving the House of Commons chamber as Matt Hancock delivers his statement on February 26

After witnessing our MPs on both sides of the House of Commons, following Prime Minister's question time on February 26 the Health Secretary Matt Hancock stood up to update the House of the latest coronavirus outbreak.

What our MPs started to do was get up and leave the chamber.

What ill-mannered and disrespectful behaviour from our so-called politicians.

We are entering turbulent decade-defining times, not only the virus but also dealing with the EU, so when these MPs go back to their consistency, if any of their constituents ask to hear their views, they will probably turn round and say you can always ask the bloke down at the pub.
