FFS. It's like they are deliberately trying to ensure that they will never be elected again. Just handing the country to Farage and Tommy Ten Names.

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.

MODERATORS
I honestly think that's their goal. There is no way to look at their actions and conclude anything else other than them directly trying to get Farage into power. They couldn't do a better job.
Time to ditch Westminster and the Union, devolve power.
Is it time to start calling the people of the UK peasants instead of citizens?
I wonder how long til Trial By Combat is reinstated.... what the hell does "preparations for war abroad" mean in this context
It means they're preparing for expedited show trials for any plebs who protest foreign wars, or the war against the working class.
It doesn't mean they'll use the mechanism, but they want the option to.
It means they think it's about to get a whole lot worse, and if it does, they won't bother to pretend whose side they're really on.
Beyond generic political platitudes and virtue signals (aka lies), do they even bother pretending whose side they're on right now?
No political class whore will ever confess to their corruption or crimes. Putin still claims he's fighting nazis. Even the US fascist regime still continuously claim they're fighting for freedom and democracy. Charlatans will gaslight until their last breathe, as they have no shame, nor integrity.
It means that they are gonna tag along to Venezuela with the US, only learning from last time that is annoying when your citizens protest about joining the US in illegal wars
I cannot grok what Labour thinks it is doing
To be fair they had a plan to out Tory the Tories and they're delivering.
Wait. That's not fair. I shouldn't have said that. They don't have a plan.
Sounds like Lammy's already backing off.
He's walked it back to 3 years, that's still abhorrent.
