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! :'(

The immaturity is staggering. An actual adult throwing an 11 week tantrum because they feel entitled to a medieval honor.
The world over, conservatives are spoilt children.
The whole fact that am MP, can refuse to work for 11 weeks, With no valid excuse. Shows just how out of touch the whole system has become. If MPs are ill or away for work. They arrange cover for voting. Its annoyingly informal. But most try to give a shit.
The whole of the UK left and right. Should be up in fucking arms over this womans ability to leave her constituants without representation.
What the hell other job could anyone be hired for where this is acceptable. MPs should be required to attend parliament for a working week. or account for the hours they do not. Or be replaced.
And during those 11 weeks she refused to do her actual job.
The MP for my region is a Tory as well and he's absolutely sodding useless, and is well versed in the art of taking credit for other people's projects, but even he holds surgeries which is more than she was doing at the end.
True. See also: the losing Tory in Mid Beds storming out after the count. Pathetic behaviour!
