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! :'(

Well it’s mostly empty words so far. Most of the things she said she’s going to do have no basis in Law - as I suspect she suspect she knows - she hasn’t got much in the table in terms of changing that, in the little time she has left.
She’s not above performative cruelty, but the reality she says lots horrible things and enacts few of them.
True, I doubt this would actually happen - she's likely whipping up the right wing Tory members as a prelude to her leadership campaign.
Still, it's a government minister saying this dirge, not just a random powerless backbencher.
