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! :'(

I've read that comment five times and I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say.
As far as I am aware she has never publicly made any statement about the post office scandal. I can imagine that if she did make a statement it would not be very coherent, but since I do not believe one has been made I'm not sure what you are referring to.
You need to look up neoliberalism because you clearly don't know what it is.
What? Seriously what the actual hell does that mean? Truss didn't even have any policies she was only around for about 4 minutes. Meanwhile Sunak's policies altered depending on who the last person he talked to was.
The conservatives lost the election because they dicked around with the economy, slashed social benefits, messed about during the worst cost of living crisis in a generation, and engaged in culture war nonsense rather than actually dealing with the very real crisis that was unfolding in front of them. She is literally more of the same, an extremist who is constantly going off on her hunt to eradicate "wokism". Which is the evil boogeyman of the hard right.
So because she's the worst example of the previous administration, she's going to become PM. Are you drunk?
The only way the conservatives are going to get back into power is if they convince everyone that they've got rid of all of the extremist rubbish, and are now capable of acting like a real political party with adults. Electing an extremist is pretty much the opposite of doing that.
