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.
After burning down the UK, he gets to enjoy his golden parachute how lovely!
Comes in, shits on table, leaves
As far as I'm concerned, that's the opposite of bad riddance.
You okay Britain? You've been going through PMs like DiCaprio goes through 20 year olds.
If only more countries did the same
Murdoch says we need a new PM so...
How many Truss's did Starmer last?
At least 4 or 5 lettuces! Pretty good!
Good riddance.
Let's hope something worse doesn't show up.
Narrator: "something worse showed up."
Don't be hating on Andy Burnham, he's solid
That's not how the game goes.
Fookin hell mate, I leave for a few days and all hell gets loose?
Let's hope the next PM is less of an undercooked potato than Starmer was.
I would like to believe that this is causal not correlative. You leaving caused this to happen. You are too powerful.
I've got an idea!
I will start a holiday fund. Whenever y'all want a new PM, just donate enough so I can head off for a week or two. With a country of 60 million people... If just half of you want a new PM, a single one penny donation will make it happen.
I'm just trying to imagine what kind of holiday £300k might buy
A spenny one!
that would buy you a day-trip in Monaco, depending on how lucky you're feeling
When was the last time there was a good one? In my lifetime there's been Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer. Name one good one amongst that rogues gallery. I will not hold my breath.
Truss, She was fantastic. For a week or two. Crashed the pound and made it cheaper to send my UK daughter some birthday money.
Truss, She was fantastic. For a week or two
No, you are thinking of the cabbage!
Can't wait for the media to work their magic on Burnham until he too is universally reviled. It already seems to have started.
It wasn't the media's fault that Burnham basically up and said "I agree with everything Labour has done under Starmer".
That's not what I'm referring to.
