To wonder if Matt Hancock has a second home he visits?

[Member869894]

He didn't answer the last question in today's briefing and left pretty sharpish....

My guess is yes.

It wouldn't have crossed my mind until I saw his scalded-cat reaction to the question. Now I'd put money on it.

He won't risk going there now after Catherine Calderwood was rumbled so will probably get away with it if he has been going.

Bunch of hypocritical cunts.

A la lanterne.

Most MPs have somewhere in London and in their constituency. It’s why they spent so long discussing whether Parliament should stay open as they travel back and to.

I may be mistaken but I thought the question was addressed to Dr Jenny Harries. Apologies if I'm wrong.

It's a bit different for him as an MP as he has his home in his constituency and presumably a base in London.

They all have

There's a difference between the family home and any pied a terre in London purely for business Mon to Thurs.

This was a holiday home, total jolly japes to the country, it's not the principal family residence and she's a hypocritical disgrace.

All MP's do, don't they? Flats in London and their homes in their constituency?

Travelling between workplaces (home and London) isn't the same as going to your holiday home.

Robert Jenrick, the Housing and Communities Minister, has a home in London where, presumably, he actually lives. His wife works for a city firm and I'd imagine his children go to school in London.

However, he was shown widely on the news a couple of days ago as speaking from Herefordshire, where he has a country residence.

His constituency is not in Herefordshire, it's in Newark. He's nominally my MP, but rents a place here to satisfy the requirements of having been parachuted into a safe seat.

It really is one rule for MPs and another for everyone else.

For many of them, their second home is their London one.

They should not be travelling between the two but I'm sure they can justify it. I doubt any of the 'high ups' will be travelling to any holiday homes at this time though - they are on telly everyday and you can bet there will be journalists that (quite rightly at the moment) will be tracking any movement
