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! :'(

I can't help but feel the only reason the Tory's are resigning and taking a stance now is that they have an opportunity to blame it on the brown guy.
And also, lol at Nadine Dorries resignation letter where she basically lists all the awful things that she thinks RIshi Sunak should have been doing more awfully. Like "hasn't drowned enough immigrants", "hasn't nuked france" (actually, that one is ok), "hasn't invaded scotland"...
No, they just don't want to fight elections they know they'll lose. They're not taking a stance. It entirely self serving, the same as the rest of their political careers. Just avoiding the humiliation on election night.
Well that parses too
Well, yeah. That's also why there was a curious shortage of white men in the last round of leadership elections (was it just Tugendhat?). Glass cliff phenomenon.

oooh TIL. That's a good one. Definitely covers Theresa May.
yeah he's basically the human shield in the same way that Theresa May was for the ERG nutjobs. Paving the way for a "true" English nationalist to lead the zealots.
The Tories are renowned for their gender bias. They treat female MPs and leaders very differently to males. There has never been any indication of institutional racism. I despise the current batch of Tories. They are nothing but a bunch of con merchants. They use racism for the populist vote, but unfortunately you cannot really accuse them of institutional racism against Sunak.
