Still makes me chuckle how increasinly bad "chaos with Ed Milliband" and "Strong and Stable" sound as the Tory goverment goes on.

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! :'(

MODERATORS
Every accusation a confession, with conservatives.
Patel>Braverman>Sauron?
Cthuhlu. Why go for a lesser evil?
Worse, Cameron
James Stupidly is replacing Cruella, the pig fucker is replacing Stupidly.
MP for Braintree. You couldn't make this up.
Seriously, if I wrote a comedy in which all of this happened, people would say it was unrealistic.
Saw an article the other day saying she had the full support of the PM.
Knew she'd be gone within a week, because that's what always happens.
David Cameron getting back I to government!?!
He is better than most of their more recent seat warmers I guess...
He started this whole crap show. Because he was scared of losing votes to UKIP, he held that dumb referendum, and that set in motion the events that led to Cruella (Johnson in power purging anyone in the party who didn't bow down to his brexit ideology). Cameron can do one, he's worse than Johnson in my eyes.
The government is effectively acting like it's the opposition, while the opposition is acting like it's in government.
The whole thing's a shit show.
TBF I left the UK years ago, and find the country increasingly alien as the years go by. Like a mirror universe country replaced the one I used to know.
He wasn't intentionally bad though, he just made a (huge) miscalculation about how much the leave campaign were willing to lie.
A lot of people were making the same miscalculation. You have to remember this was around the same time as Donald Trump's presidential campaign. It wasn't widely known just how powerful that tactic really was yet. A lot of people were laughing at the obvious bullshit, confident that it'll never fly, but were oblivious as to just how many were buying into it.
About fucking time.
I know right, I can’t remember a more cruel and callous Home Secretary
Cruella Braverman.
I always preferred Suella De Vil.
Fun fact: her name isn't actually Suella, it's Sue Ellen Braverman. Suella was a choice. She chooses to self-identify as a name that rhymes with Cruella.
Fun fact - she was named Sue Ellen after the Dallas soap opera character.
Ex-PM David Cameron is made foreign secretary in a shock move as Rishi Sunak reshuffles his cabinet
That motherfucker?! Back again?
protect the pigs
I'm not sure he should be allowed to reshuffle from the discard pile.
Let's hope he promises to stick around again...
David? Daviiid? curtain wafts in front of open window
What the actual fck! Regardless of your view of brexit, him fcking off for the rest of those c*nts to pretend to have an idea of sorting out his mess tells us all we need to know about his character
Next will be the reanimated corpse of Margaret fcking Thatcher with AI designed by Elon fcking Musk
Considering he was in favor of remaining and he promised a referendum because a large enough proportion of the population wanted to voice their opinion on the subject, I don't think he was the right person to negotiate the terms of separation.
Then again it was non-binding so instead of promising to just go with whatever the population voted for he should have promised to negotiate the terms of separation and then hold a second referendum to know if people agreed to those terms or preferred to stay.
David, Cameron lost because he didn't have a plan B.
He's too damn arrogant and think assume he could possibly lose. Not exactly great qualities in a politician.
