Bushtucker ban for MPS on the table
EXCLUSIVE
MPS could be blocked from appearing on I’m A Celebrity and other reality shows under plans laid in Parliament.
Matt Hancock ditched his constituents for a lucrative stint on the popular ITV programme.
The Lib Dems have tabled an Early Day Motion, dubbed the Bushtucker Bill, calling for Westminster’s rules to be updated to prevent MPS from following in Mr Hancock’s footsteps.
MP Christine Jardine said: “Hancock disgracefully deserted his constituents for the sake of his ego. In any other job, he’d have been sacked for going AWOL.”
Mr Hancock was stripped of the Tory whip after jetting to the jungle.
