People have no choice but to queue for the shop as there aren't enough delivery slots to go round. Difference is MPs could all very easily vote online.
The queue looks silly, wastes time (we are literally paying MPs to stand around waiting- I'd rather see them spend the hour on something more productive tbh), isn't safe (there were many images yesterday of MPs not keeping 2m apart).
Not to mention it's completely unnecessary! Even if you want people back to work why not let them stay in the chamber/their offices and vote online?!
