๐Ÿงผ Scandal, Sleaze & Self-Interest: Welcome to Westminsterโ€™s Favourite Soap Opera

Once imagined as the beating heart of British democracy, the House of Commons now resembles a back-alley flea market where ethics go to get pawned. Each week brings a fresh scandal, like a cursed advent calendarโ€”only instead of chocolate, you get corruption, cover-ups, and careerism coated in PR spin. ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿคก

Remember when MPs were supposed to represent their constituents? Yeah, that quaint little fantasy packed its bags around the same time as affordable rent, functioning NHS services, and the last shred of political integrity. Instead, weโ€™ve got Honourable Members dodging accountability like itโ€™s a sportโ€”greased up by donors, lobbed softballs by friendly media, and cushioned by second homes paid for by you. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’ธ

Their true priorities? Not poverty. Not crumbling infrastructure. Not even the cost-of-living crisis. No, theyโ€™re far too busy shouting over each other in a taxpayer-funded pantomime and checking WhatsApp groups for the latest party lineโ€”or party invite.

Meanwhile, the country is on its knees, its people squeezed dry, and the House isโ€ฆ still debating whether water companies should be allowed to continue pumping raw sewage into rivers. (Spoiler: they voted yes.) ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿž๏ธ

Itโ€™s not governance. Itโ€™s government-themed performance artโ€”except no one asked for tickets and the exit signs are covered in red tape.

Why do we still call it the House of Commons when itโ€™s become a gated club for careerists and crisis manufacturers? Drop your angriest takes, your pettiest burns, or your sharpest sarcasm below the blog. Letโ€™s not just moanโ€”letโ€™s mock them mercilessly. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ
