😁 Yeah, it's been a crazy day on mn. I expect Labour supporters have given up on defending the government, preferring instead to demonise the voters of other parties.
I find that approach really frustrating. I'm not a reform voter but I can't abide the superior and rude finger pointing that attempts only to deflect from the incompetence of this current bunch of reckless shits.
On the upside, apparently the Tories might mop up some tactical voting from the anyone-but-reformers - although they might have to burn some 'Never Kissed a Tory' t-shirts wallowing in their wardrobes first.
The civil service internship reforms are weird. They'd have been better off selecting on wealth or whether people call their last meal tea/dinner or supper. Or they could just leave the whole lot alone. Seeing the children of tradies painted as impoverished and requiring a leg up is decades out of date now, that's for sure.
