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 left the stage because of a banner saying she crashed the economy.

She left number 10....because she crashed the economy.

Get fucked Truss.

Why she dressed like lettuce?
Did she leave over the dispute of them wearing the same dress? (I was not surprised which one lasted longer on stage)

Sorry to double-post in the same thread, but I really loved the John Oliver bit on her weird speech moments where she looked like she expected applause and didn't get any.

How bloody dare you! You take that back immediately. Apologising for double posting? Are you taking the piss. If anything I'm grateful for the double posting. Please do it more!

Can anyone put up the images for those that don't feel like going on X?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Not sure why you got downvoted; I also get the β€œSomething went wrong. Some privacy extensions may prevent X from working properly” error. And if viewing a photo requires me to disable privacy extensions, it’s not worth viewing.

I see, thnx, the X content doesn't load with me (on purpose) but searching the relevant terms on youtube gets the vids of both Truss and Farage

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The video is in the article, along with pictures

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've filtered out all X content, so they dont show up. I found them on youtube, though on the advice of @Sara W

That picture has great meme potential

Oh Liz is a pro-trump speaker now? Odd but not surprising I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She’ll suckle at whatever titty is lactating. What’s the alternative, a real job?!

Plenty of corps will pay her high 6 figures to sit on their board of directors to use her government contacts to their advantage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I think most of her contacts don't have much power now. Her party is a rump now and her wing of it disgraced. Also, she is toxic to PR.

Big Lettuce

Oh yep, don't forget her bullshit about a woke UK deep state she said on her way out. Give it another 3 years and she'll have dropped to the level of headline guest at conspiracy conventions.

And the UK tax payer is forking out for her retirement with ex-PM pension she can now draw from! New rule, you've got to at least make it 1 year as PM before you qualify for the Β£100k a year pension.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Or at least outlast a lettuce.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Imagine what that cabbage is on! A wedge I bet.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Then there's her resignation honours list...
