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! :'(

Waitibg for the headline "Comedian to retire her Liz Truss character."

Any day now.

Maybe the real Liz Truss, but never Liv Struss!

Highly recommend if you haven't seen her sketches yet: https://youtube.com/@nerineskinner

It starts off funny, and they you remember that these are the out of touch arseholes running the fucking country (she seems to be refusing to fuck off, but also even if she did, she's far from the only right winged wanker who genuinely believes this shit).

The UK it's already socialist, says woman who totally understands how the economy works.

[Sarcasm] Oh well, if Liz Truss says it, it must be true!

Congratulations on your successful revolution, Britain! I must've missed the news when it happened, amidst all the gossip about the latest Donald Trump tweets.

I honestly think she's an idiot. Not in a "stupid tories" sort of way, but in a genuinely low intelligence way.

Anyway, if only she was correct.

She finally did it! She pressed the Communism button!

Useless fascist desperately grasps for relevance.

Everyone talks about her but I think about the complete fucking losers working for her, following her around. The people walking with her in the picture, begging to be snapped with her. What a bunch of sorry individuals
