I love the old phrase ‘if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu’. This type of outburst can only be spoken by a guy on the outside, he’s not allowed into the big boy meetings and he won’t survive the next election. Poor guy

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! :'(

MODERATORS
He holds a mere 5k majority. That is very much in the worry zone of most Tory MPs. However, one as divisive as Anderson you would have to wonder why anyone would vote for him. He is the worst that the Tories have to offer. I think he knows his card is marked to be gone at the next election.
There is a campaign to stop him being re-elected. I made this post regarding Anderson and what he could be up to. I even wrote to my own Labour MP to look into it. The response I got was very lacklustre. I was so annoyed, I never kept the letter. She said it was outside of her remit. I was given another name to try with the proviso that it is likely to be outside of his remit also. I am not the biggest fan of my local MP.
I suppose I should be grateful she is not a Lee Anderson, but that is a low bar to be above.
i like to be positive: every day youre not lee anderson is a good day
Definitely the most horrible thought that has ever made me smile.
Is there much left to sell off?
Well the amount that we have paid into it, we must own a fair portion of 55 Tufton St. That would be something the public would not miss.
Gibraltar and the Falklands are being eyed up by foreign governments, I’m sure they could fetch a good price.
Actually, I’m surprised the Tories haven’t already thought of this.
You realise they are not owned by the UK? They are a British overseas territory. This means we control the defence and foreign relations only. Gibraltar sets its own laws and tax.
