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! :'(

The team discuss the Labour leader's newfound love of Thatcher, the news from COP28 and the Telegraph deal that even its journalists are against.

How am I only just now learning that there is a Private Eye podcast!?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago

News to me too!

Is that Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann (my two favourite podcast hosts ever) on it as well!?

[–] burningmatches@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It’s Andrew Hunter-Murray from No Such Thing As A Fish and Helen Lewis.

[–] robyoung@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

Well I never, apparently all Helen's sound alike to me.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

I assume it would be Private Eye regular Helen Lewis.

Did I miss something, or has he gone on record talking up Thatcher more than the two word comment in a large Tory sheet trying to deflate any "vote Tory to keep labour out"?
