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! :'(

All the right wing is easily bought
As easily as the left wing. Jeremy Corbyn loves Russia.
That's what you do whenever you're losing an argument isn't it you just invoke Corbyn. Trouble is he isn't even in the party anymore, so it would be possibly a good idea to get another attack line.
John McDonnell is still an MP and still shills for Russia.
That's a good point, your first comment was utterly irrelevant to the conversation but now you're going to pretend you had some kind of point. I assume it's "vote conservative because they don't like Russia", which isn't true of course.e.g. Boris Johnson
Please find a better argument.
Are you high? Or do you have issues understanding the English language?
Oh, and now you have fallen back on being rude because you can't actually think of a coherent argument.
Ok, you're just dumb.
Ooooo you got me there. Aren't you clever.
I hadn't really heard about his positions on Russia and was an interesting read. Now I will think twice before voting him as an independent if I ever happen to move to Islington.
Not really relevant here though is he?
John McDonell still is. And plenty of others. Russia knows real well that they need to buy both parties.
