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! :'(

I don't want to argue with you that the Tories were bad in office. They were. ๐คฃ. But it seems to me from the article that Sunak (even when he was in power) was against this. As were other Tories. Check out the quote I pasted.
Yeah I get that but then surely some token of apology should be forthcoming? What has happened to these people is awful and should be put right.
Yeah I agree with you that it should be put right. I'm just not sure if it can be at this moment in time.
It just seems rich of the article author to write that Sunak would say it's wrong, do nothing about it whilst in power, but that's okay because he says it's wrong, whilst labour are somehow worse for also not doing any about it? I had trouble wording that sentence but I hope you get the jist.
Feels like no ruling government would resolve this with the countries current finances, but that the current opposition and the writer of this article just are enjoying stirring the pot.
Well he sure did say that I'll grant you that. He definitely said it but he did absolutely nothing to correct the issue. So he is "sorry" had happened, just not enough to do literally anything about it.
So he doesn't care then.
