Rishi calls convicts cowards

Not that i don't disagree that people found guilty of their crines should be made to go back to court to face the sentencing and the families but to call them cowards when he can't even turn up at parliament for voting and uses excuses we'd use to get off of school

Shouldn't it be the same for all MPs that they have to go to parliament to vote

Like the Nadine Dorriss fiasco when someone says they have resigned why has it taken over 6 months for her to go in no normal job would hou have that luxury so surely she should pay back the extra money shes gotten since she made that announcement

Parliament is very outdated and time MPs were brought into line like the general public are

Certainly, MPs should be accountable to those who pay their wages and the PM is jumping on a slightly peculiar bandwagon and making himself look silly by voicing this opinion. But there is no similarity between the two. A convicted criminal has the opportunity to accept responsibility for their crime, which may affect the judge's outlook in sentencing. There is no obligation for them to do this and forcing them to appear in court is a rather grotesque sideshow that has no obvious function.
