      She has identified English philosopher Roger Scruton and American economist Thomas Sowell as her influences, citing Sowell’s Basic Economics as an influence.

      Ah, so she’s an idiot

      a Black History Month debate in the House of Commons in October 2020, she reiterated the government’s opposition to primary and secondary schools teaching white privilege and similar “elements of critical race theory” as uncontested facts.

      Glad to see American brainworms infecting the whole Anglosphere

    They could get rid of FPTP for this tomorrow if they wanted, but that would admit that it’s a shitty voting system.

    It’s extremely funny how in 2019 after Corbyn ate shit and Boris Johnson got awarded the mandate of heaven, there was an article posted on here/the chapo subreddit that postulated that the conservatives in the UK probably could be called the most effective political party in the world, in the sense that they’re REALLY good at getting enough tories elected to form a government. Like, over the UK’s history, an obscene percentage of it has been governed by the tories.

    And now 5 years later, the tories have refused to do litterally anything about the problems facing the people of britain, and have allowed themselves to be taken over by the most rabid part of their electoral base, while said base is also moving away from the party and towards the actual existing fascism party.
