"Our administration is a massive collection of fuckups, but here's some tax cut candy before the election. Vote for us!" - Conservative Parties everywhere
We don't want tax cuts, we want public services to work again.
(I'll admit, I don't know quite what percentage of people I'm apparently speaking on behalf of)
I ask myself the same question
You're on the same side as the public, actually. Even Conservative voters think it's the wrong time to prioritise tax cuts.
They're beyond salting the earth now aren't they?
Every journalist should ask every Conservative MP What are you going to cut? until they get a straight answer.
UK Politics
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! :'(
