UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Cameron said the same....
I'm sure he did?
David Cameron, May 2015
Oh how I wish we chose chaos with Ed Miliband.
Imagine the Brexit referendum never happening. Imagine the funding cuts stopping a decade ago. Imagine the Department of Health not cancelling its pandemic preparedness programme before covid struck. Imagine still having the right to walk in the street to protest against climate change or still having the right to tell the whole truth in your trial for protesting.
Imagine Teresa May never being prime minister or never being home secretary or using government money to have vans drive round London saying "Immigrants go home".
Imagine Boris Johnson never being Prime Minister and Ed Milliband being sensitive and sensible the night before the Queen mourned alone instead of partying against his own covid regulations.
Imagine Liz Truss never having been Prime Minister, that there was no Trussonimics, mortgage payments didn't explode and inflation didn't jump to levels last seen in the 80s (after the Conservatives had promised to fix inflation then made it far, far worse).
Imagine Rishi Sunak never being Prime Minister and somehow turning a thumping majority in the house of commons into a weak-willed premiership that let the loony right wing drive the policy agenda for the nation whilst voting against cabinet decisions with impunity.
Imagine a country that had been invested in instead of sucked dry.
Don't, you're making me cry :'(
Yup they have 3 choices:
We're getting it right and we're on the right path
Better the devil you know, it'll be worse with the other guy
Time for change
This is 2 and 3, It's terrible now, time for change or you'll be stuck with the other guy.
Rishi is running on 1 and 2, we're on the right path, better with us than chaos with Labour
Maybe they'll win with "look how he eats a sandwich" again
