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! :'(

Holy shit, why the hell are all these private healthcare loons in the fucking labour party

I’m confident there’s a lot more of them in the Tories. The problem is that under Starmer, the ones in Labour feel encouraged to show their colours.

Oh there's definitely more in the Tories, but at least that's ideologically consistent

At least if they're showing their colours, we can put them on the permanent shit list

Thrown out of the Labour party for fighting for the rights of the many not the few. Resurrected three days later as an independent. Initials JC.

Need I say more?
