As Rees Mogg said, we are all friends and colleagues so we Tory MP's do not need to wear masks in the House of Commons. Johnson obviously agrees with him

Well, at least Boris didn't stretch out along the bench........

Just showed how little any of this really means to him, outside election time.

Talk the talk but do not bother to walk the walk. Some are saying he arrived worse the wear after too many tipples. But that could be just social media talk

There's actually another photo in circulation where it's the other way around (Johnson masked but not Attenborough) however that doesn't excuse this one.

It's also somewhat nauseating to see the right-wing press (and even the BBC to some extent) making a fuss over Biden nodding off, whilst ignoring Johnson doing the same thing!

I used to nod off at work sometimes, it happens to us all occasionally.

As it turns out, being friends and colleagues is not an effective preventative measure against covid.

A bit misleading from the BBC. This a request from the speaker and cannot be enforced as MP's are not parliamentary employees. Unless of course the parliamentary parties and the whips decide they want to try.

Nothing misleading in that report. It's even moot whether instructions by employers are enforcible in law.

I would like to see the video before deciding what really happened
a) did Johnson nod off or close his eyes for a moment
and b) how long was Johnson and Attenborough maskless and why

We all remember the bacon sarnie election photo. But any eating can be abused in a photo. Just take one shot from a video and bang you have an embarrassing photo
