      This new presidential immunity ruling has gone too far already. 😤

          Yeah, but unlike the US, the UK doesn’t have a constitution. Oh, wait.

              Why is it so ridiculous to you?

              The UK using a bunch of documents, some of which are hundreds of years old and largely invalidated plus a bunch of unwritten arrangements to run a country is imo not ideal to say the least.

                Well, not the only one considering that the USA is a thing, but that sort of near-religious treatment of eg a constitution is not normal at least from the perspective of dirty foreigner like me. Franky it’s weird and fucking creepy

    Based.

    Got the ball rolling on this, junior doctor strikes, and planning system reform on day one.

    The manifesto was fairly unradical and didn’t seek to rock the boat too much, but tbh I’m glad it wasn’t just filled with unworkable populist stuff that they probably couldn’t achieve (cough, Tory, Green, and Reform, cough).

    The UK has already paid £270 million, with the latest £50 million instalment handed over in April. Nobody was deported, although two failed asylum seekers went to Rwanda voluntarily under a separate agreement that saw them offered a £3,000 incentive to go.

    Just imagine what useful stuff could have been done with that money.

      They could have spent that on no PPE, or on not building a high speed railway, or failing to improve migration, etc.
