There was a video clip circulating on social media of Charles Walker MP speaking in the House of Commons last week. He was speaking about the extension of the lockdown in the UK.

But I do know, that for that short video I admired the compassion and empathy he spoke with on behalf of his constituents. If only we could witness the same compassion and empathy from our Political Leaders.
