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 don't know.
There are definitely some right wing elements in the Conservative Party who think he hasn't gone far (been radically right wing) enough in dealing with small boat immigration, inflation, economic growth, NHS waiting lists and the national debt; whether they think there is someone else waiting in the wings who can be more effective in the regard is unknown to me.
Over the summer the impression I have got from coverage of him and his team is desperation; they seem to be flailing around looking for wedge issues (currently the "war on the motorist" nonsense seems to be in vogue, but they rotate between "small boats", "net zero" and the like) while trying to distract from the failure to attain the five pledges and all the other things that are going wrong for everyday normal people - the "cost of living crisis".
