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.

Serious question here. Aside from presiding over the obvious end of a tired administration, what's Sunak done that's so horrific to the rank and file Tory MP that they'd submit a letter of no confidence when BoJo was seamingly allowed to get away with significantly more before they ultimately decided to hit send on the email.
Sunak likely can't win the election, but are there people in the CPP that genuinely believe anyone could win this election right now? It's the end of days for their time in government, and if they truly cared about the governance of the country, they'd be pushing for a GE.
@Oneeightnine The only horrific thing he has to do is look like he'll lose the election.
For what it's worth, I too have no confidence that Sunak will win the election, thank goodness.
Those submitting letters to the committee now probably never liked Sunak in the first place, some may have even submitted them on day one when they were just angry at him ousting BoJo.
