Taking it Easy
A recent story in some national newspapers has been one of outrage at the news that Parliament is to take a 24 day break over the Christmas/New Year period. Now I should start by pointing out that this decision was taken entirely by the Labour Government and imposed without the rest of us having any say at all - and yes the break from London/Parliament is too long.

In reality as much work is done at home in the constituency and elsewhere around the country as actually takes place in the House of Commons.
