 🚆💼Oh no! The horror! Labour MPs—the humble “party of the people”—have discovered that sitting on overcrowded trains with actual voters is… well, a bit beneath them. And so, in a dazzling display of self-awareness failure, they now want up to £30,000 a year in public money to avoid the unbearable stench of economy-class democracy. 🤧💷

🛏️ “The Commute Is Cruel and Unusual”: Cry Me a Westminster River

It’s not enough that MPs earn £86,000+ a year, get subsidised food, cut-price bars, and taxpayer-funded offices. Now, they’d like the public to pay for them to not go home. The logic? Public transport is too crowded. Trains are “stuffy.” And the smell of Greggs, Lynx Africa, and minimum-wage anxiety clinging to the air is simply too much.

This isn’t a policy—it’s a middle-class meltdown in slow motion. The same MPs who campaign on “green transport” and “cost of living solidarity” suddenly want to opt out of the very system the rest of us have no choice but to endure.

Picture this: Sandra from Stevenage gets up at 5:30am to catch a bus, two trains, and walk half a mile to her zero-hours job—no complaints. But Barry from Brent North can’t possibly be expected to tolerate a packed train after a hard day of tweeting party lines and misquoting statistics.

It’s not the commute that’s the problem—it’s the commoners on it. 👃🚫

🚨 Challenges 🚨

Are we really going to fund politicians’ hotel minibars while nurses eat pot noodles on night shifts? Is “too many peasants on the train” now a valid budget line?
