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! :'(

Asked if Mr Farage would be welcome if he wanted to join Labour, Ms Dodds said: "Nigel Farage is someone who is well outside any kind of Labour values.

"He has proven that time and time and time again."

She said the former Brexit leader and Ms Elphicke are not comparable, as Mr Farage is "someone whose values are completely inimical to the Labour Party".

"I think in what Natalie Elphicke has set out today she's very clearly shown she is very concerned about the issues that both Labour MPs are concerned about and Labour members, and indeed many Labour voters," Ms Dodds said.

"She's very concerned about the impact of that lack of delivery of housing on people up and down our country."

What are the Labour Party principles?

How different are they to Farages or Truss?

To win.

Can't do dick if you're not in power.

We can kick off at them if they retain Tory policies.

Though at this point, less full tilt far-right & corrupt would be a massive fucking improvement.

I’d just like it if they’d come up with a manifesto and stick to it…

But we’ll see …
