UK Politics
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Question 4 to Sunak: Explain your pledges, do you think you've hit them?
Audience heckler here shouting something about inflation and now he's getting argumentative regarding the debt pledge. Audience laughs. Everyone smiles thinking he's a twat. Sunak gets pretty hett up about this one. Combative but keeps it together.
Now the fourth pledge about waiting lists has drawn an audible boo from the crowd. Beth gives him an option to move on but he wants to fight. Bad move Rishi. More booing from the audience.
On the immigration pledge Sunak blames the Vietnamese for the influx. Gets a small clap from "stop the boats" catch phrase. Beth replies with why he called an election before the Rwanda deal can be seen to work. Sunak now in full rambling mode.
