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! :'(

Any conversation that Labour has regarding Brexit is an opening for the Tory ERG to push their own twisted narrative. Since Tories control the media, then that will be the loudest voice. Labour will not fair well in that sort of fight. There are still plenty of idiots who do not accept the damage that Brexit is doing.
The latest yougov poll shows that:
If the 2016 referendum on UK membership of the European Union was being held now, how would you vote?
31% would still want to leave the EU, with only 55% would be voting to remain
If there was a referendum now on whether the UK should or should not join the European Union, how would you vote?
32% would be against with 51% would be for it
So for all a lot of the country is aware how damaging our Brexit stance it, this is not really enough. We cannot convince anymore due to the strength of Tory media. The only way Starmer can beat this is by giving facts when in government. While keeping in mind that we will only ever get one chance to reverse this fiasco, would you rather it was done in haste or with as many educated as possible?
What damage is brexit doing?
Have you not heard the news?
