'Two different sides of Westminster on show today', says Andrew Marr, as some MPs laugh about Matt Hancock's TV stint, others discuss Chinese police stations in UK
He said while half of the MPs are ‘talking, laughing and rolling their eyes’ about Matt Hancock taking a break to go on I’m A Celebrity, others were engaged in more serious topics like Chinese police stations in the UK.
Opening the Marr show tonight, Andrew said: “I feel I've spent my day in two separate Westminsters at the same time. In one Westminster everybody is talking, laughing, and rolling their eyes about the decision by the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to take a break from his political job to go on the reality TV show I'm a Celebrity, which is filming in Australia.
"For this, he has today lost the Tory whip. The prime minister's official spokesman said that Rishi Sunak believed that, at “a challenging time for the country, MPs should be working hard for their constituents.” "Mr Hancock, on the other hand clearly believes that his constituents would much prefer to see him being ritually humiliated by Ant and Dec, while eating grubs and animal genitalia.
"And who’s to say he’s wrong? Andy Drummond, deputy chairman of the MP’s West Suffolk Conservatives, helpfully entered the debate by saying HE was looking forward to seeing Mr Hancock eating a kangaroo’s penis. As are we all – although I do hope the kangaroo, If not Mr Hancock, has gone to a better place by the time he does it.
