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! :'(

Audience questions for Rishi.
His responses to Beth were, as usual, saying nothing. I was not impressed. But to be honest I think he's given up by now. Just get him out of there!
A heckler shouts at Rishi:
Sunak replies that a vote for Reform is a vote for Labour. He's also visibly sicked in his mouth. Why do I have HD on this channel?
How can Sunak restore the NHS? Expecting him to tell us about his mother again.
DRINK!
As much shit as he gets about the NHS, rightly so, I do think the workforce plan is at least a good outcome that was sorely implemented too late but at least it is being implemented.
Audience questioner not pulling his punches. Tough question. And another heckler from the other side of the room.
Again, to be fair, he's not ducking these questions and at least wants to respond.
A question on young people's mortgage outlook.
Audience member laying Liz Truss' failures directly onto Sunak here.
A rare strong answer from Sunak here. Who knows of these new mortgage help to buy policies are actually doable in the next government but a good response o thought. Aspirational.
A youth asks him now about National Service. Is this going to be Sunak's principles moment. Doesn't look like it.
A follow on about criminalising people that don't agree with National Service.
Rishi says "No". But then also said there are countries that have appropriate sanctions. ๐ง
The original questioner asks why he wants to shit on the youths all the time.
Rishi responds with: But surely you love your grandparents and want the best for them? letrollface.jif
A life long self described "True Blue" now tearing him a new arsehole about the D day gaff.
Sunak: All I can say is I tried. Now forgive me.
He's clearly war gamed this question to death with his team. He's not getting thrown... yet.
Ooo I don't think he was expecting ol' Lizzie 2 to be brought up.
Next question is on how would he rebuild trust in the police.
Audience shaking his head whilst asking about police numbers. The original questioner pushing him to accept that the police are institutionally racist. He doesn't.
