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! :'(

I still can't believe one of them was "stop the boats".

Of the others:

  • Halve inflation (still a long way to go)
  • Grow the economy (economy is board flat)
  • Cut the national debt (debt has now risen to 100% GDP)
  • Cut NHS waiting lists (waiting lists now even longer)

Maybe you guys should try another rich asshole who couldn't care less about you surviving the next few years. We keep doing it in America and it's going great...

In our defense, no one voted for Rishi Rich, he's the result of the Tory party falling apart and having three leaders in one Parliament.

That's not quite true... just less than half of voting Conservative party members voted for him, preferring instead the steady hand of Liz Truss. Well done there guys.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that first leadership election.
