UK Politics
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.

Kinda had to end this way, really.
You'd think someone of her status would absolutely ensure that her situation was checked over regarding tax payments. Honest mistake or not, her position became untenable.
She employed multiple firms to manage something that a specialist, which she had already employed for the more complicated parts could have handled in its entirety. Its very unusual to do that unless you are either very dumb or are trying to hide what you are doing.
I think she knew tbh, the shit with her right to buy council house stinks as well.
It's a shame because I used to like her, but we shouldn't be surprised, given how she sold out to become deputy in the first place.

She talked the talk but didn't walk the walk.
