If this MP is so intimidated by drawing pins and a placard, why did they become an MP? Do they go into WHSmiths and just breakdown in fear? When campaigning do they have to be photoshopped into pictures containing placards as they couldn't stand being there in person?

Disappointment for Sunak As He Remains an MP
There was further disappointment for outgoing UK Prime Minister Rishi "Rish!" Sunak after the conservatives lost the general election in a landslide, as he retained his seat in Richmond and Northallerton, meaning he will have to remain an MP.
The Conservative leader has long expressed apathy and indifference to the job of being a member of parliament and it had been rumoured he would retire from politics should the party see defeat at the 2024 election. Instead he will have to remain a sitting MP in the opposition.

----
Ottawa, May 11 - In discussing the militia estimates in the Commons, Brig.-General A. E. Ross, (Cons., Kingston) said it was rather interesting to see that estimates which were whittled down to the lowest figure could be still further reduced. He asked who the people- were who objected to militia training. There were those who had an aversion to what they called "brass hats." Then there were the uplifters. who said we should treat all men as brothers, forgetting that brothers. sometimes quarelled. Others took the ground that there were signs of lasting peace, and cited the disarmament conference in support of this contention.
General Ross emphasized the value of training. As a Canadian example of the value of training, he said that a week's winter training in Canada, with its experience of operations under low temperatures, had provided a method by which it had been possible to wipe out the malady known as trench feet.
"If we wipe out militia training and cadet training and all kinds of training," remarked. General Ross, in conclusion, "we shall produce a class of sissy boys, fanatics in dancing, and not the good old class of boys who made the British Empire what it is."
