Imagine knowingly putting your own citizens into poverty because it is politically better for you...
@RubberDuck while I view all mainstream reporting on Labour with a bit of scepticism, I don't doubt these are actual conversations being had.
"What's in it for me?" is an attitude that is so ingrained, I'm not sure how long it will take for it to change - and for politicians to stop trying to appeal to it.
I imagine there's also a healthy amount of "what are they going to do? Vote Tory? lol" going into this decision as well.
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! :'(
