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.

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.

I assume then that the next election won’t be pretty for them

Pretty much every political commentator at this point is confident that they're going to be wiped out and lose worse than they ever have in history. So yeah, not pretty.

That said it's their own fault, Sunak was supposed to bring things around, but he's basically done nothing and just sat there being useless while the right wing nationalist element of his own party essentially destroy their election chances. It's bizarre watching them go at it, it's like they were sent from the future with a mission to ensure the conservative party is never politically electable ever again.
