General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

This a reference to the Eat Out to Help Out scheme devised by Chancellor Sunak which resulted in 65,000 deaths. In day to day politics you forget how many died in Covid.

Perhaps he will also kill the Conservative Party off too. They make a mockery of the saying ‘success has many fathers, failure has one’. So many of them are total failures its more like sand in an hourglass, slowly passing into history like a bad dream

I think a lot of people are wary of talking about Covid for psychological reasons (or to avoid the anti-vax/lockdown arguments). Also I doubt the Tories wanted to mention it given how they handled it as a government.
