UK Politics
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! :'(

Starmer has dropped every left wing pledge, purged every progressive and has bent over backwards to appeal to vested interests.
To such a degree that they're worse than the Conservatives?
I didn't say they were worse. They haven't been in power so how could they be?
But Starmer is offering nothing new. Same austerity, same corporate control of industry and political influence, same authoritarian proclivities and pandering to neoliberals and mass murderers.
Apologies, I didn't mean to say that you meant that, I'm asking the question, would that make them worse?
As they haven't been in power, we can't see what they'll actually offer until they're in power.
