..or emailing or whatever it is they can be seen doing. They're all at it, whilst I'm watching Parliament live. That should be banned. More than half of them are up to something on the side just by being there. Disrespectful, and displaying a bad example to the country as a whole. (fair enough when that SNP leader stands up - cos he's tedious beyond life itself. Texts like "come and kill me" from any MP are understandable)
Probably texting the papers giving them the inside line to line their own pockets, grabbing bar stewards. Also attention span of goldfish some of them
They could be reading emails from their constituents, communicating with their colleagues and finalizing their speeches... Or shorting the pound, playing Candy Crush and browsing porn
