General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I'm surprised Murdoch hasn't switched sides yet. It seems obvious that Sunak's not a winner.

The Murdoch empire is currently undergoing a transition of power from Rupert to his son Lachlan, and fighting a lot of legal battles in the US. Perhaps they are too distracted from their UK relationships for now, or hedging in case the Tories do finally pull a living rabbit out of the hat.

Lachlan's won the Murdoch version of Succession?

That sucks. IRC he's the truly cunty one.
