Yeah, after Labour washed down their agenda until making it unrecognizable.

The (Tory) king is dead. Long live the (Lite Tory) king.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


LONDON — Millions of Brits go to the polls Thursday, in an election likely to oust the Conservative Party that has dominated postwar politics and ruled the United Kingdom for the past 14 years.

The U.K. is considered Washington’s closest ally, it is the world’s sixth largest economy, and it has a nuclear arsenal and a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.

For many in Britain, the country has long felt stagnant or broken: from the economy and public institutions like the crumbling National Health Service, to the sewage-filled rivers and the expensive, delay-ridden railways.

Facing almost certain defeat, Sunak has been left trying to coax a disillusioned Conservative base just to turn up at the ballot box to prevent what he warns will be a Labour “supermajority” in the House of Commons.

He identifies as a socialist, but has angered many leftists after abandoning much of the progressive platform that made him Labour leader, such as privatizing utilities and railways.

He’s an ally of Donald Trump’s and leads Reform U.K., an anti-immigration party that is poised to capture millions of votes from dissatisfied Conservatives on the right — but also some from Labour.


The original article contains 1,008 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Nice try bot, but Rishi Sunak isn’t the leader of the Labour Party or Reform UK. He’s also what you might call the opposite of a socialist. I think the last two paragraphs you generated are about the other candidates.

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
