Rejected petition Cancel summer recess for MPs as Jeremy Hunt suggests for the civil service

"All August leave will be cancelled unless I have a signed letter from the relevant permanent secretary saying that all preparations in his or her department are on time and on track." Jeremy Hunt, Tory leadership contender and Foreign Secretary of HM Government

More details

Jeremy Hunt has suggested that if he becomes PM he will cancel all August leave for civil servants, people that have been dealing with the ineptitude of politicians over Brexit for years.

So it is only right that MPs sacrifice their ludicrously indulgent recess in order to make headway with preparing our country for a No-Deal Brexit, instead of passing the buck to the hardworking and highly skilled civil service that has dealt with their bungling incompetence with hitherto endless patience.
