Independent Irish MEP Luke “Ming” Flanagan lived out a remote working nightmare on Tuesday by participating in a European Parliament committee meeting on agriculture in a state of undress. When given the floor by the committee chairman, Mr Flanagan appeared on screen sitting on a bed, from which he was taking part remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Following the contribution, committee chair MEP Norbert Lins grinned as he thanked Mr Flanagan for his words. That worked really well,” Mr Flanagan wrote on Twitter. “I wasn’t that bothered to be quite honest,” Mr. Flanagan said of his appearance.
