The former Conservative MP said: “I just think that if you had a time, it might not even be everyday, but several times a week when people who find masks unbearable or are medical exempt from wearing them can go into shops and supermarkets it might mean that those people do not do what I am doing at the moment which is abandoning the high street and ordering online.”

“That is not the end of the world, I can shop from home on the internet.
