MP Caught Playing Candy Crush during Parliament Meeting

Even MPs get bored.

Tory MP Nigel Mills was pictured playing the mobile gaming phenomenon Candy Crush Saga during a parliamentary committee on pension reform.

Mills told The Sun:


"There was a bit of the meeting that I wasn’t focusing on and I probably had a game or two."

Mills also added "I shall try not to do it in the future"—possibly the lamest apology ever. Then again, Candy Crush Saga is crazy addictive.

The Sun had the exclusive on their front page.

I apologise unreservedly for my behaviour at the committee meeting and realise it fell short of what is expected of a Member of Parliament.
