General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I wouldn’t trust her to deliver a pizza, let alone a budget.

No way. For a start you have to have some idea of where you're going.

Also you have to be in charge of a vehicle that doesn't run people over. Though I guess that technically depends on how many shifts you want to do

But she is not a quitter. She has assured that she won't give up.

Her proposal will be pitched as one that rails against “conventional thinking”

Is that better known as common sense?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Her prime ministerial debut was anything but conventional.

Go on Liz, split your party and force an early GE. Lib Dem sleeper agent strikes again.

Sleepy agent.

Someone needs to introduce her to Sim City, Cities Skylines or Democracy # Political Simulator.

"I have never shied away from tough decision. Our choices over the last week, opposed by the party opposite, will prove to be the right ones. Many experts are already predicting a golden future, with up to one million new homes built, and a new trade route to Japan."

I think this should be in the And finally... community - it is silly enough to make me laugh.

I say let her do it.

Then let all sane economists and market analysts tear it to shit. At least this way we won't suffer the ill effects and she'll still be outlived by a lettuce 🥬.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I sometimes wonder if the lettuce she was out lived by was Rishi

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Forgive my crudeness, but she can go and get fucked, was my first thought.

Shall we just rename the Donning-Kruger effect to the Liz-Truss effect at this point?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The picture is not flattering either, she looks haggard and confused. And what's going on with her hand? Begging for a private eye bubble

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All I can say is… 😂😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

she has altered the deal

The only thing that comes to mind is headdesk
Then some rage..
