Andy Cooper doesn’t have a job to go to. Does that mean he has a message for himself?

So… it seems that with a low turnout from tories, between them reform uk, Britain first and ukip took enough votes from the conservatives for labour to steal a win. I desperately hope that we send the tories packing next election but it’s hard to see this as anything other than a protest vote.

Yeah, that is a close gap that could easily be bridged by a consolidated conservative vote. Quite worrying, to be honest.

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! :'(
