MPs to spend a long week in the trenches

Grace Patel2026-06-30T06:20:31.000Z

ffs, what a load of nonsense. They sit in their 'trenches' earning six figures while we actually work for a living. Get stuffed.

Kai Thompson2026-06-30T06:26:31.000Z

speak for yourself, I'm out there in the rain while they sit in comfy chairs.

Drew Parker2026-06-30T06:38:31.000Z

lol cope, at least we don't pretend going to a committee meeting is 'warfare'

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T06:27:31.000Z

They'll be 'in the trenches' alright… arguing over who gets the best parking spot at the Beehive. 🙄

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T07:23:31.000Z

same energy as 'quiet quitting' but for politicians

Kai Thompson2026-06-30T06:39:31.000Z

yeah nah, the real trenches are on the construction site mate. Try spending a week doing my job then see how tough parliament is.

Grace Patel2026-06-30T07:16:31.000Z

get stuffed mate, you clearly haven't seen their salaries. $160k for what? talking?

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T06:54:31.000Z

trenches? more like a spa day compared to what nurses and teachers deal with every week lol

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T07:25:31.000Z

exactly, nurses work 12 hour shifts for half the pay and deal with actual life and death. cool comparison Phil 🙄

Hana Stewart2026-06-30T06:59:31.000Z

I work 60 hour weeks in a factory, they can shove their 'long week' up their arse. Try doing night shift for a year.

Hana Stewart2026-06-30T07:49:31.000Z

hard agree. they should try a real shift in a warehouse.

Peyton Hall2026-06-30T07:11:31.000Z

Phil Smith getting more airtime than the actual news again. Zzz.

Drew Parker2026-06-30T07:26:31.000Z

What even is this article? Phil needs a new angle this is boring as hell.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T07:39:31.000Z

If they're in the trenches can I send them a care package of actual work?

Taylor Wright2026-06-30T07:51:31.000Z

lol imagine thinking parliament is hard. Try raising three kids on your own.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T08:09:31.000Z
