I found out from the rest is politics podcast that she’s a Buddhist, Erasmus scholar and previously worked alongside Cherie Blair on the Africa Justice Foundation.

It just seems like such a paradox, and maybe it is just a ploy to appeal to the far right lunatics in the Conservative Party in order to become leader one day.

yeah i can see what’s happened here, rishi has been forced to say “fuck it” and align with one of the factions.

if you have a choice of a faction to align with, you should pick the one that is closer to the center of the overton window, to maximize future vote gain under FPTP.

if suella didn’t force her own sacking to then try and force a no-confidence vote to seize leadership (or otherwise secure cabinet control for the NatC faction), then… why did she write that opinion piece otherwise? she didn’t have to write it.

Just when you thought the Tory Implosion couldn’t get any better.

At this rate they might have to just admit defeat by Christmas and let some grown-ups run the country for a change.

UK Politics

Create post

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! :'(
