They do need some time off however, the frail darlings.

In the six months since the original leaving date of 29th March until the new leaving date at the end of October, they have given themselves 83 days away from Parliament.
I would lock them all in Westminster, close all the bars and feed them from a Food Bank until they get their act together.
Well, there may not be sessions in Parliament, but that doesn't mean to say they aren't beavering away behind the scenes, in Committees, their constituencies or wherever.
It doesn't mean they are all off to the Bahamas for a jolly.
It reminds me of when people used to say they'd like the short days and long holidays that teachers got. Luckily, we're a bit more enlightened about the real number of hours that teachers put in.
However, it does seem very shortsighted to me that with the state we are in, and with public opinion of MPs at an all time low, that they don't make an exception to 'normal' Parliamentary sitting times.
The one time when MPs really do need to show the electorate that they realise this is an unprecedented situation, and that they really do need to show they are earning their money, and they hand the Daily Fail a damning story on a plate.
