UK Politics Thread

And I remember being told by someone at The Other Place that Labour and Starmer were not transphobic. Where are they now? I can only assume they are falling in line to commit atrocities against us.

UK bans game controller exports to Russia in bid to ground drone attacks

I’m glad to see the Ministry is continuing its tradition of recruiting the brightest and best.

I have a choice of transphobic bastard (Labour), transphobic bastard (Reform UK) and it doesn’t matter if they are transphobic bastards because they won’t win (everyone else).

I am voting against what is wrong by not voting for Labour, Reform UK or Conservative. They can all fuck off.

No votes for transphobes, ever!

Counting underway, not looking good, I knew there would be a number of Reform wins but this is horrible.

By six votes.

This may be a foretaste of the next general election in England. multiple parties with roughly similar levels of support will produce lots of tiny wins like this, making the overall result highly unpredictable, and even more unrepresentative than it usually is.

EDIT-

To further illustrat this- I’ve stuck the latest polling figures into a swingometer, and the result is utterly chaotic- You need at least a three-party coalition to get any sort of majority, and if you change any of those percentages just a bit, the result changes wildly.

Highly unlikely three party coalitions as well. Keir Starmer won’t do coalitions, SNP hate Labour and hate Reform UK even more, and the Lib Dems have been criticising the three top parties for their transphobia.

A very weak Reform/Tory minority government coalition won’t achieve much, unless Labour continues on it’s journey to the far-right.

Britain is fucked, the country is in terminal decline.

Reform UK split the conservative vote here, allowing the LibDems to take control of Oxfordshire County Council.

:laughing:

Yes, the LibDems are tory-lite, but at least they aren’t transphobes. This matters when you live a life in the bottom tiers of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Labour won in my ward, but that was going to be a shitshow regardless. Labour are marginally better than Reform UK, I guess.

Nigel Fucking Farage rediscovers his inner Musk/Trump.

“I would advise anybody who’s working for Durham County Council on climate change initiatives or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or… things that you go on working from home, I think you all better really be seeking alternative careers very, very quickly."
