You say this like the Conservatives give a shit that their plan is going to plan.
They aren't here to lead, they are here to loot.

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! :'(

“Above all, it was trying to win,” Osborne told me recently.
That's it. That's the Tory mentality. They don't want to improve people's lives, they simply want to rule.
"rule" being filling their pockets with public funds.
If it helps, here is what Kansas did: went bankrupt, thought about it, then decided to do it again. Thought about it some more... well you get the drift.
What a time to be alive! Actually probably all times are this way, but climate change does put a bit of a new twist on that old theme:-(.
And that is the second, all too obvious, fact of British life throughout this period: a single party has been responsible.
Can relate.
At least you've had some respite. Since the crash in 2008 you've had Obama and Biden in. Breaks from the awfulness of conservativism.
It's just been so fucking grim here, year after year after year.
A single party has been responsible, but the next party is wringing their hands at the opportunity of doing most of the same while claiming they're better.
this was a really good read, thank you for sharing
You're welcome Clara.
The UK is on the same track Italy started on 30 years ago, only we're going to speed run it.
Got half way and it got to be a bit rambly. So I left it .
