Matt Hancock should lose his MP salary while he's in the jungle

Responding to the news that Matt Hancock has lost the Conservative whip because he is appearing on "I'm a Celebrity", Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

"Yet again we see a Conservative MP taking voters for granted. At a time when MPs should be supporting their constituents with the cost of living crisis, Matt Hancock is choosing instead to go to the jungle to feed his own ego.

"Matt Hancock should declare how much he is earning from appearing on the show, and forego his MP's salary for the duration. The taxpayer should not pay him while he refuses to do his job."
