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.

I hope the phrase "Liz Truss thinks Donald Trump was right about everything" follows her around permanently.

Soggy lettuce and mouldy hamburder

I’m surprised he wants to be associated with a failed leader like her, but then again he associates with failed lawyers all the time, almost like incompetence is a virtue.

I realise that isn’t surprising anyone at this point, but I keep assuming that he’d value the appearance of competence even if ignoring the reality, and yet here he is chumming with expired lettuce. Maybe he just enjoys the rare feeling of being the most competent person in the room

She probably paid for that photo and that's all that matters.

Trouble is, the payment may not always be in currency. Reciprocity pays almost as good. And after the next UK election, she figures that she'll be in a position to make good.
