General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Worse, Cameron
James Stupidly is replacing Cruella, the pig fucker is replacing Stupidly.
MP for Braintree. You couldn't make this up.
Seriously, if I wrote a comedy in which all of this happened, people would say it was unrealistic.

Still makes me chuckle how increasinly bad "chaos with Ed Milliband" and "Strong and Stable" sound as the Tory goverment goes on.
Every accusation a confession, with conservatives.
Saw an article the other day saying she had the full support of the PM.
Knew she'd be gone within a week, because that's what always happens.
Ex-PM David Cameron is made foreign secretary in a shock move as Rishi Sunak reshuffles his cabinet
That motherfucker?! Back again?
I'm not sure he should be allowed to reshuffle from the discard pile.
Let's face it, it's all discards in his cabinet. The real pisser in this instance is that Cameron gets a lifetime baronetcy out of the deal.

What the actual fck! Regardless of your view of brexit, him fcking off for the rest of those c*nts to pretend to have an idea of sorting out his mess tells us all we need to know about his character
Next will be the reanimated corpse of Margaret fcking Thatcher with AI designed by Elon fcking Musk
I lived through the Thatcher years and never imagined I'd see the day when I look back on her with anything other than hatred. But at least she believed in something, stood for something, and wasn't just lining her pockets.
I was joking but also got depressed when I thought of that as some tories would actually love that. I agree that is the slight glimmer of a positive about her. At least you can have a debate with someone who has a view on something if their goal is still improve the UK, even if misguided.

Then again, considering he was in favor of remaining and he promised a referendum because a large enough proportion of the population wanted to voice their opinion on the subject, I don't think he was the right person to negotiate the terms of separation.
Then again it was non-binding so instead of promising to just go with whatever the population voted for he should have promised to negotiate the terms of separation and then hold a second referendum to know if people agreed to those terms or preferred to stay.
David, Cameron lost because he didn't have a plan B.
He's too damn arrogant and think assume he could possibly lose. Not exactly great qualities in a politician.
Made a mess, ran away, humming a jaunty little tune as he did so. Shitcunt.
Already filthy rich by birth. Got his PM pension and now going to get even more public money for fucking up the country's image internationally even more. But the benefits cheats and disabled people are the problems obviously...

protect the pigs
Let's hope he promises to stick around again...
David? Daviiid? curtain wafts in front of open window
About fucking time.
I know right, I can’t remember a more cruel and callous Home Secretary
Cruella Braverman.
I always preferred Suella De Vil.
Fun fact: her name isn't actually Suella, it's Sue Ellen Braverman. Suella was a choice. She chooses to self-identify as a name that rhymes with Cruella.
Fun fact - she was named Sue Ellen after the Dallas soap opera character.

I assume Priti Patel'll be next then.
And it's not for lack of competition.
Now brace yourselves for the absolute monster that replaces her.
Enoch Powell's head in a jar, Futurama style.
Apparently it's going to be James Cleverley.
Which I guess is an improvement because at least he pull the party line. He doesn't care what that is. He'll just do what he's instructed.
Fuckity bye!
I'll always boost/upvote a solid Malcolm Tucker reference :)
Is he moving his entire cabinet around to make it look like he's not merely firing his Home Sec?
With Cameron seen walking in, this looks more like he’s setting up an election cabinet.
they can't keep their goverment in line and together, yet we still don't get a general election.
Cameron isnt an MP and he isnt a lord he should not be serving in the role as an elected member of parliment imo

David Cameron getting back I to government!?!
He is better than most of their more recent seat warmers I guess...
He started this whole crap show. Because he was scared of losing votes to UKIP, he held that dumb referendum, and that set in motion the events that led to Cruella (Johnson in power purging anyone in the party who didn't bow down to his brexit ideology). Cameron can do one, he's worse than Johnson in my eyes.
The government is effectively acting like it's the opposition, while the opposition is acting like it's in government.
The whole thing's a shit show.
TBF I left the UK years ago, and find the country increasingly alien as the years go by. Like a mirror universe country replaced the one I used to know.

He wasn't intentionally bad though, he just made a (huge) miscalculation about how much the leave campaign were willing to lie.
A lot of people were making the same miscalculation. You have to remember this was around the same time as Donald Trump's presidential campaign. It wasn't widely known just how powerful that tactic really was yet. A lot of people were laughing at the obvious bullshit, confident that it'll never fly, but were oblivious as to just how many were buying into it.
Why did he leave then straight away and dissappear from public life? He's completely arrogant and only cares about power. Why didn't he have a plan is it did go wrong? He's grossly incompetent. Any half decent government should prepare plans for even unlikely situations if they are possible and would cause so much damage.
To be fair, having a pro remain leader in charge of Brexit would have pissed of the Brexit crowd. Probably would have given a better outcome though.

He was a Eurosceptic masquerading as a pro-EU campaigner. He gambled his power with different referenda (AV in 2011, Scottish independence in 2014, and the UK self-sanction in 2016).
He looks competent, but he's directly and indirectly caused so much harm to this country.
He was a Eurosceptic masquerading as a pro-EU campaigner
I don't think there's much evidence that suggests that. What he was, was complacent about Remain's chances of success - and he wasnt the only one.
