Alok Sharma, Business Secretary

[The_Unicorn]

Business Secretary Alok Sharma self-isolating and has been tested for Coronavirus. He began feeling unwell in the chamber today, spokesperson says.

As he was in the queue to vote yesterday wont all the other MPs near him have to isolate for 14 days?

Well, Rees-Mogg's insistence that they all meet and vote in person is going well then!

 

[HolgateCorner]

That’s it then, half of them will be in isolation for two weeks.

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, the return to parliament seemed an unnecessary action on practical terms and but it seems the political machinations have overridden that, hopefully just an isolated incident and those he has come into contact with will not be affected.

Shocked, shocked I tell thee!

Please let Reece-Smug get it,please let Reece-Smug get it.

the government's own advice, work from home when you can, ignored, no surprise as the PM ignored the advice on shaking hands, cummings ignored advice on travel. mo wonder the country is in such a mess

Congratulations to Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg on yet another coronavirus blunder.

 

[Scrote]

You could be cynical and just see it as another part of the plan to shut down Parliament to remove any scrutiny from Government actions (or inactions).

 

[Alvez_48]

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

If positive will those ministers and MPs he’s come into contact with at Westminster all self isolate? Or will there be another rule for the elite? Technically he has already breached lockdown as you are supposed to isolate if you have symptoms not travelling into central London and repeatedly wiping your sweating face, blowing your nose into a hankie then touching your face with it
