The Divide.
The Commons Covid divide: Tories including Jacob Rees-Mogg shun masks in the chamber and bunch together - while Labour benches remain socially distanced and with face coverings on
Hopes of a packed and rowdy chamber for the final weekly session before the summer break were dashed amid renewed concerns about rising cases and the 'pingdemic'. But Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg and chief whip Mark Spencer were among more than a dozen Conservatives who opted not to use face coverings. And some chose to sit closer together, in stark contrast to the Labour benches that universally sported masks and maintained wide gaps. After 'Freedom Day' saw almost all legal restrictions axed, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has lifted limits on numbers and made masks optional. However, yesterday Sir Lindsay appealed for politicians not to 'push the limits for the sake of it'. Downing Street said the PM (right) had been 'clear about the importance of wearing masks' in enclosed spaces.
