More than a dozen British MPs are now in self-isolation as fears spread about the extent of the coronavirus in the UK.

Security Minister James Brokenshire today announced he was self-isolating following a meeting with Australia's infected Interior Minister in the White House. Mr Brokenshire said he had a breakfast meeting with Peter Dutton last week in Washington DC - and joined him at a 90-minute round table and press conference on child safety at the White House. He tweeted: "Although I am feeling fit and well and have no obvious symptoms, from a precautionary principle I have decided to work from home for the next week."

Four new Tory MPs - backbenchers William Wragg and Andrew Bridgen, Justice Minister Alex Chalk and newcomer Ruth Edwards - announced last night they were staying away from Parliament. Mr Wragg has shown symptoms, Mr Bridgen met infected health minister Nadine Dorries, Mr Chalk had contacted with "an infected colleague" and Ms Edwards met the infected owner of Nottingham Forest FC.

Labour MP Olivia Blake added this morning: "I’m sorry to say that I am suffering from symptoms associated with coronavirus and therefore I will be self-isolating. I have cancelled all meetings and public engagements for at least the next week."

Also had a ridiculous spat between Nadine Dorries and the wife of Andrew Bridgen MP
