Yet another MP (this time Chi Onwurah - previously Chris Bryant has done the same) has been picked to ask a question at PMQs and goes on Twitter to canvass opinion on what she should say.
Are we employing as members of Parliament people who are incapable of thinking for themselves?
Are we employing as members of Parliament people who have no causes or campaigns close to their heart and when presented with an opportunity to speak at Prime Minister's Questions go onto social media to ask what to do (instead of perhaps consulting their constituents)?
Why do we not dispense with Chi Onwurah entirely, saving ourselves £60k pa, and have her parliamentary contributions completely decided by social media and delivered in the Commons via Wolfgang von Kempelen's Speaking Machine?
At this rate it can only be a matter of time before MPs start auctioning their questions on E-bay.
