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! :'(
Good but I feel it can go a bit lower if the Tories really put their backs into it.
The bottom is zero and they're still not there somehow.
20% is still stupidly high.
1 in 5 people have seen the shit and corruption of the last 14 year. Then decided. Yep more of that please.
Now we know why promises of mental health spending never happen.
It's also objectively not rock bottom.
It is a bit depressing.
... The worst poll of their lives so far.
Anyone remember when Gordon Brown took over as Prime Minister and the press made him call a general election after six months because he didn’t have a mandate?
I saw that one of the polls predicted the tories would be left with only 25 seats.
That’s 25 seats too many!
I believe they can reach the presitigious 0%.
It would be tricky to achieve even if all the frothing gammons naffed off to Reform (or whatever the BNP is calling itself these days) and the rest felt Starmer was sufficiently right of Thatcher, there would still be some people who lived up on the moors with no contact with the outside world who didn't get the memo, along with a certain percentage who had lingering concussions and just ham-fisted numpties marking the wrong box.
Gammons! I haven't heard that term since the good old bad old Brexit days! I think it needs to make a comeback!
Not that I'd advocate it, but having "milkshake" turned in to the verb "to milkshake" whenever Farage was also somewhat entertaining.
I still use the term Gammon when I'm road raging
they'll come surging back for another 16 years after the red tories have a 4 year turn in which they fail to improve anything and are a little bit more restrained about their transphobia than the tories, thus alienating all the frothing transphobes.
Lower than under the Lettuce.
