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! :'(

Nah, the term is mainly used as a praise. Otherwise you would just say "delusional nutjob".
She managed to recreate our entire country in her image. After she retired she boasted that Tony Blair was her greatest legacy.
People have understandable reservations about this but the West has been living in her and Reagan's world since they were in power.
I think it is clumsy for Lammy to phrase it this way but the case for her being a visionary is pretty compelling. Kier is making similar noises at the moment and the subtext of this is them making a soft pitch to Tory voters by implying that they will basically be New Labour if elected.
