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! :'(

That's weird because as I recall it, what happened is that her administration proposed an economic plan which caused a brief economic crisis because I guess they thought they knew more than actual economists - sort of like 5 year olds that think they know more than their parents.

"The deep state." I guess, if by that you actually mean "the free market"...

The irony being that she's a free-market cultist of the highest order...

At this point it's malice or incompetence.

I guess she knows no one intelligent is going to take her seriously from now on, unless she can get this new reality realised
