General Discussion for politics in the UK.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.

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.

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.

We are friends with [email protected], a uk news community on a more general site.

I still can't believe one of them was "stop the boats".

Of the others:

Halve inflation (still a long way to go)
Grow the economy (economy is board flat)
Cut the national debt (debt has now risen to 100% GDP)
Cut NHS waiting lists (waiting lists now even longer)

In our defense, no one voted for Rishi Rich, he's the result of the Tory party falling apart and having three leaders in one Parliament.

That's not quite true... just less than half of voting Conservative party members voted for him, preferring instead the steady hand of Liz Truss. Well done there guys.
