UK Covid-19: Jacob Rees-Mogg says Tories won't wear masks in Parliament because 'we know each other'
The Government's stance on wearing face masks descended further into chaos today as a minister rebuked Jacob Rees-Mogg for arguing that Tory MPs do not need to wear coverings in the House of Commons. Health Secretary Sajid Javid ignited a row earlier this week when he suggested MPs and ministers should wear a face mask in the crowded Commons. Mr Rees-Mogg then claimed yesterday that they are not necessary because Tory MPs 'know each other' and have a 'convivial, fraternal spirit'. Downing Street declined to back Mr Javid, insisting that masks are a matter of 'personal judgement'. But Care Minister Gillian Keegan has now slapped down Mr Rees-Mogg as she said that 'everybody knows that you can get Covid from anybody'.
