A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Whats the counter argument from the opposition; Lettuce, you have the mic.
I love that this is her actual legacy! 😂
lettuce with googly eyes, staring motherfuckerly
"LOOK AT ME!!!" said the irrelevant person.
Person... person... sorry, all I'm seeing in that photo is a lettuce.
Would that be the same changes that Liz Truss put forward that nose-dived the bonds market by announcing unplanned tax cuts?
I still love the term Kami-Kwasi.
What a day that was. It would almost be funny if it wasn't still fucking with people's mortgage rates.
Is an actual lettuce.
The problem for Truss chasing populist politics like Trump is that no one, ABSOLUTELY no one likes the insufferable idiot.
Dear UK. don't fall for this
The UL has had plenty of far right fucks vying for an grasping power for a while. UKIP, for one.
the lady whose career was outlived by a cabbage?
Cabbages can stay good for quite a while. It was a lettuce, the thing that wilts during the car ride back from the store.
Ah, Thats even worse.. and better, story wise, at least.
It's wild to accuse the UK of having a Deep State when Yes, Yes they Do. It's called the Crown. Charles could instantly dismiss parliament at anytime (in theory) so would a MEGA movement be anti-Royalist? Lol
Anyone who looks at what is going on in the US and says "that's a functional democracy that we should emulate" should be blocked from holding any office forever.
Breaking: The lettuce said she's full of shit.
Dude, fuck her. I admit that back when I first moved and UK politics were still rather new to me I couldn't wrap my mind around what she did that was horrible enough to warrant a boot in 40 DAYS. Although I've heard one or two stories since about people losing all their savings that made it make slightly more sense, she always read as just pretty foolish and incompetent to me.
Pushing for MAGA bs in the UK (the most redundant thing I've ever heard) completely upends that assessment of her into being every bit as evil as the American ones. Tory scumbag.
Its very likely that she full believes it, she is that dumb and because her reality fell apart when her economic changes failed so quickly and spectacularly, she has retreated into the full deep state conspiracy bubble.
Sees the US flushing itself down the toilet. “We need to do that too!”
Good job shit for brains.
Yeah since that’s going so well for America you fucking idiot loser.
Tories: "we have destroyed the UK economie for our own benefit. Want to see us do it again?"
Piss off, cunt.
Cause the U.K. did so well under the Tories, particularly her.
The cabbage did a better job
Why is Salad Lady still making public statements? She had her chance and sucked too much, she can retire from politics and do some manual work now.
Liz Truss giving advice on power is a joke in itself
I'd rather listen to the other lettuce that didn't wilt.
After being out lasted by a lettuce, ousted as PM, then kicked out as an MP you'd think she'd get the message that she's a bit useless.
Says the person that lose to a lettuce.
oh yeah. here in the us it made us great and now we are being made greatererererer. so much winning it hurts my behind.
Conservatives wanting change. Hmmm.
Liz Truss is a nazi in the same camp as musk. I know who'll be in front of the firing squad when push comes to shove.
Why is it that when conservatives want change they only think of torching everything to the ground?
Because they're not conservatives, they're radical regressives
You just said the same thing twice.
Liz Truss can go eat a chainsaw
RIP AND TEAR
Can the Tuffton street lettuce just fuck off into the sunset
Didn’t she kill the queen with that terrible curtsy and handshake?
how can this fuckcunt show her face after her ridiculous premiership that didn't even last 5 scaramuccis
also how can she say anything without reporters directly telling her to shut the fuck up ... why is anything she says reported at all ?
We need to suck up and be like Trump/Elon is the new trope of failed and irrelevant politicians in Europe now.
The neoliberal far right FDP party in Germany will likely not make it into the parliament in Sundays election after blocking and blowing up the previous government. As they declined in the polls, they copied and talked more about MAGA, Milei and the like. Meanwhile Musk didnt even bother to reply to their head and former finance minister.
I guess for Truzz it is the same thing. Only thing that worries me, is that these people usually sell themselves to the highest bidder. So someone is paying them for that.
I'm so grateful she lends her well-documented incompetence and bewilderingly stupid person to this movement. I can see people having something for Farage (as he is of a particular insufferable-twat-but-at-least-hes-our-twat kind of 'quality')
But I don't think that anyone honestly holds a sliver of respect for Truss.
#teamlettuce
"So, in order to advance our political agenda we need echo chamber rednecks with affinity to nazi ideology."
"Are we the bad guys?"
CPAC UK??
That's the saddest thing I've read all day. And that's after the concentration camp story.
It was definitely failing under Liz Truss. Then things got better when she fucked off.
OK, I have an idea for a new TV show.
Let's form a club of boomer, anti-democratic, rightwing-extremist, power hungry narcissists, and invite them to a private island and have them get stranded there because the flight authority botched traffic control (due to budget cuts, obviously).
Record it in the style of a reality TV show.
Hey kiddos look it’s the British cabbage.
