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! :'(

There's literally no way to know what a Labour government will be like. All we know about Starmer is that he's prepared to lie and say whatever he thinks he needs to say to get power.
Was he lying to the left to get selected? Or is he lying to the right now to get elected?
🤷
Even to whatever extent they have described any policies at all, they're probably just lies.
Still. The mystery prize will indeed be better than yet more crazed Tories. I suspect just not all that different.
