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 hope FactCheck UK follow up with a video on Woking and Thurrock…

Do politicians give a shit about fact check? As long as the voters lap up their bullshit I don't see any of them changing the amount of shite they talk.

Sorry, I was making a silly joke about their historic Twitter dishonesty.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 6 months ago

Noticeably lighter on facts there after the beating their claims got for the previous video.

I don't know who they are seeking to impress by these videos as the only ones who'd fall for this are hardcore Tories already.

Rishi just last week was expressing how the West Midlands was absolutely thriving under tory mayor Andy Street.

Labour destroyed Birmingham? More reason to vote for them!
