Meanwhile, in the UK.... (British politics thread)

Money is no problem when it comes to the Royal ******, Bankers, or War.

But Public Sector workers looking a decent parish? Well the cupboard is bare.

As one such worker, I haven't had a pay rise in real terms for nearly 14 years. Just had this years offer (1.7%) ****** through.

After 32 years service, there are many people getting more in Welfare than I get in wages.
Welcome to Humanity, such as it is.

Probably relatively speaking.

You hear about many European countries going bankrupt due to their national pension plans. I'm not sure which is better.

Why does anyone listen to Lettuce Liz anyway? Who can forget her "fantastic" 2022 mini-budget delivered by Kamikwasi Kwarteng?

Jeffrey Donaldson: DUP leader resigns after **** charge​

Premium Link Upgrade
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has been charged with **** and other historical sexual offences and has resigned as Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader.

A 57-year-old woman has also been charged with aiding and abetting in connection with the alleged offences.

They were both arrested on Thursday morning by PSNI detectives and were questioned before being charged on Thursday night.

Sir Jeffrey had said that he will be strenuously contesting the charges.

He and the 57-year-old woman are due to appear in court next month.

BBC News understands Sir Jeffrey has been charged with **** and multiple other sexual offences.

In a statement the DUP said: "The party chairman has received a letter from Sir Jeffrey Donaldson MP confirming that he has been charged with allegations of an historical nature and indicating that he is stepping down as leader of the Democratic Unionist Party with immediate effect.

"In accordance with the party rules, the party officers have suspended Mr Donaldson from membership, pending the outcome of a judicial process.

"The Party Officers have this morning unanimously appointed Mr Gavin Robinson MP as the interim party leader."

Sir Jeffrey's letter to the DUP states he will be strenuously contesting the charges.
 
So... thoughts on the election? I know he had to call it this year, but the news seems to indicate that he didn't give his own party a heads up.

John Oliver's segment sure made it look bleak for the torys with many of them not even running for re-election.
 
Calling the election for July 4th was a bit funny too. The US will be glued to the telly watching the results.
 
I'm not voting, there are no local candidates or parties that reflect my views. Whoever gets in will be awful.

The best candidate this year is a second generation Polish fellow named Nanov T. Abov.
