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! :'(

Tories need some shred of ethics

He’s a nutjob (apologies to nuts and to employment). He wrote one of the books that emboldened the loopy Johnson/Truss/Sunak generation of Tories called Conservative Revival. He’s also VERY keen on bringing back the workhouses (genuinely, in his 2013 book Work for the Dole). Horrible nasty Tory.

If I was a Tory right now I would keep my mouth shut about things like 'working hard' and 'getting ahead.'

Nobody wants to hear it from them.

Before that, British politicians would need to have some ethic first.

Tories need to work less. And by "work" I mean do the bidding of a millionaire who will throw them a few quid.

He said he had worked hard in his career to set up businesses, adding: "It's worked for me, it can work for the country as well."

I have worked hard for my money^[citation needed], others should also work hard for my money!
