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! :'(

She's really embraced the grift since being laughed out of office.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I feel a bit bad for her because I think she takes the whole thing very personally, which is probably why she has become so defensive.

I wonder if she ever will say "okay sorry guys, maybe I made some mistakes". If she did then maybe people would mock her less. People are a bit relentless in mocking her these days.

imitating the Nicole spam, but with Liz as the lettuce chick

I'm sure someone can make a funnier version.

Very true that free speech never really means that

Will it be made of cheese?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

It better not be imported cheese. That would be a disgrace.

She made an absolute mess as a PM so why should we trust her with a social network?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

You say "social network", I say barely attended vbulletin install. Potato, patahto

This woman has a humiliation fetish, doesn't she?

Truss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford over the weekend.

Seems like it.

If hell is real it'll be a neverending cryptocurrency conference.

"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"

Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't wanna talk about... like the horrible damage she did the country maybe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would love to talk to her about that :)

Hey, I've seen this one before

As the Friday Night Comedy podcast would have it:

Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.

I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.

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

Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.

It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

oh she has a cult following all right.

just not one that wishes her well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like the majority of the population, plus the bank of england cannot be in a cult.

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

I feel you overestimate her relevance to the everyday person. The's "that prime minister that was there a really short time" and I don't think people care anymore.

Except the people like us that see news from her as a current tory MP doing stunts like this saying "fuck that lettuce"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

Obviously. It's uncensored after all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So she's not just joining Truth Social? I'm surprised.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Well the biggest part of Truth social was laundering money 'indirectly' by having bribes be 'investments'. She can't profit off of Truth social.

Behold, the power of roubles

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

So is it allowed to post boobs?
