MPs have voiced anger at being excluded from briefings about local lockdown restrictions in their areas, learning of plans via internal WhatsApp groups or being offered briefings with less than 20 minutes’ notice.
Several MPs told the Guardian they had listened to briefings from the Department of Health on what restrictions would be placed on their constituencies while standing in the vestibules of trains to London.
