Enough whataboutism, please. The Government has hundreds of MPs; it doesn't make sense for all of them to spend all their time on the same small subset of issues, even if they're critical. Like, it's literally impossible to have that many people at a literal table.

Small subset of issues? Lol. We're in a damn near everything crisis.

Edit: I propose the Daylight Savings Time working group work on fucking foodbanks, for one out of a billion more important issues.

Edit 2: Whataboutism is a disingenous technique to deride progress along certain lines. This isn't that. This is prioritization. Sad you can't tell the difference.

Hungry people including children vs moving the clock an hr for half the year? There are so many critical issues right now.
