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.

Ex-PM David Cameron is made foreign secretary in a shock move as Rishi Sunak reshuffles his cabinet
That motherfucker?! Back again?
I'm not sure he should be allowed to reshuffle from the discard pile.
Let's face it, it's all discards in his cabinet. The real pisser in this instance is that Cameron gets a lifetime baronetcy out of the deal.

What the actual fck! Regardless of your view of brexit, him fcking off for the rest of those c*nts to pretend to have an idea of sorting out his mess tells us all we need to know about his character
Next will be the reanimated corpse of Margaret fcking Thatcher with AI designed by Elon fcking Musk
Made a mess, ran away, humming a jaunty little tune as he did so. Shitcunt.
Already filthy rich by birth. Got his PM pension and now going to get even more public money for fucking up the country's image internationally even more. But the benefits cheats and disabled people are the problems obviously...
I lived through the Thatcher years and never imagined I'd see the day when I look back on her with anything other than hatred. But at least she believed in something, stood for something, and wasn't just lining her pockets.
I was joking but also got depressed when I thought of that as some tories would actually love that. I agree that is the slight glimmer of a positive about her. At least you can have a debate with someone who has a view on something if their goal is still improve the UK, even if misguided.

That motherfucker
I think the correct term is pigfucker
For anyone new to British politics, Maultasche isn't being figurative...
protect the pigs
Let's hope he promises to stick around again...
David? Daviiid? curtain wafts in front of open window
Saw an article the other day saying she had the full support of the PM.
Knew she'd be gone within a week, because that's what always happens.
Still makes me chuckle how increasinly bad "chaos with Ed Milliband" and "Strong and Stable" sound as the Tory goverment goes on.
About fucking time.
I know right, I can’t remember a more cruel and callous Home Secretary
I assume Priti Patel'll be next then.
Cruella Braverman.
I always preferred Suella De Vil.
Fun fact: her name isn't actually Suella, it's Sue Ellen Braverman. Suella was a choice. She chooses to self-identify as a name that rhymes with Cruella.
Fun fact - she was named Sue Ellen after the Dallas soap opera character.

And it's not for lack of competition.
Fuckity bye!
I'll always boost/upvote a solid Malcolm Tucker reference :)
Now brace yourselves for the absolute monster that replaces her.
Enoch Powell's head in a jar, Futurama style.
Apparently it's going to be James Cleverley.
Which I guess is an improvement because at least he pull the party line. He doesn't care what that is. He'll just do what he's instructed.
they can't keep their goverment in line and together, yet we still don't get a general election.
Is he moving his entire cabinet around to make it look like he's not merely firing his Home Sec?
With Cameron seen walking in, this looks more like he’s setting up an election cabinet.
Wishi rishi looked weak with her about and weak with her gone. Hopefully she starts her own Britannia party and splits the tories into irrelevance.
All I want for Christmas is the death of the Conservative Party 🤞🤞🤞
Cameron isnt an MP and he isnt a lord he should not be serving in the role as an elected member of parliment imo
That's only a convention. The government only needs the support of parliament, they don't need to be members of parliament or house of lords.
This is why we need proper democratic reform and a proper written constitution.
