As the BBC website says here:
Harriet Harman has defended the length of time Parliament will not be sitting in February, saying the seven-day recess is not a "holiday" for MPs.
[House of Commons working at maximum efficiency]
Before going on to say:
Instead, it is a holiday for the hard-working British public, a chance for them to get away from the tiresome antics of politicians and this Labour government’s continued attempt to be the world’s biggest ever fuck-up.
In fact, I would expect most MPs will spend the greater part of the week in their constituencies, most probably hiding from their constituents.
As one voter in a rural community said:
Our MP may think that we have forgotten all about his expense claim for a moat for his duck house, and his three-week ‘fact-finding’ visit to ‘learn more about the working conditions in several of Thailand’s most exclusive ladyboy brothels, but we have not.
We’ve all been sharpening our pitchforks in readiness for his return and everyone in the constituency has donated some wood towards the bonfire.
A seasoned, however, political commentator said:
Quite frankly, this is great news. We could do with far less government in this country. In fact, it would be great if we could stop MPs coming into the Houses of Parliament altogether. They’re just like kids on Christmas morning, as soon as they get their hands on the shiny new toys of government, they start breaking everything, then a short while later you find them sitting stunned amongst all this chaos and destruction wondering what they’ve done.
However, the House of Commons squeaker, Diddy Bercow is believed to be keen for MPs to have much shorter breaks, as he believes that the people of this country can’t get enough of seeing him on TV. But then if he wasn’t completely delusional about his own charisma, abilities and totally oblivious to how the rest of humanity view him; it is unlikely that he would ever have become a member of parliament in the first place.
