Full data can be found below, as well as a quote from Tyler Woodward, CEO of Health and Wellness store Eden’s Gate:

Tyler said “It comes as no surprise to me that Boris Johnson has been named hardest working PM in terms of parliamentary contributions. After all, he has been in office throughout Brexit and a worldwide health crisis! I’d suggest he makes sure to make time for himself and ensure he’s sleeping and eating well to avoid burnout.”
