UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Said one of the worst bigots and bullies in a party largely made up of some pretty terrible people.
love how she's about to be irrelevant in politics after accomplishing nothing
Doesn't she look tired?
Don't you think she looks tired?
I can hear the sound of empires toppling.
Oh, I always thought he said fired and everyone just went along with it
Well she's on fire now, Maggie's in the mud!
I know you're referencing Doctor Who but
When you think about it that's true of a lot of them. They make a huge amount of noise it is to be sure but they don't really achieve anything.
Look at Jacob Reese Mogg, he seems pretty relevant, important within the party, and influential in politics in general, yet he's done bugger all. His entire career in politics essentially was him just appearing on television and being a twat, and backing whatever brain dead policy the conservatives have come up with on that particular day. All he achieved was to make everyone hate him. The exact opposite of what a PR representative is supposed to do.
if he was sos for business even for a few months , he probably approved some mergers or squashed some competition enquiries and got a few NED positions or something out of it.
He's basically just a team mascot.
Please tell me she is on course to lose her seat
In undue fairness, accomplishing nothing was her job.
Kemi just like me frfr
