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! :'(

What? That's not even laughably true.
When left the PM's office in 2016 he didn't automatically become a lord. He spent 7 years afterwards not being a lord but received a life peerage in 2023 when he became foreign secretary.
Where the fuck do you get your information? LOL ๐
Eh. I never said it was automatic typically it was done via the next pms list
You kinda did
Which is wrong.
You also said
Which is also wrong. John Major didn't get a lordship. Tony Blair didn't get a lordship. Gordon Brown didn't get a lordship. You have to go back to Margaret Thatcher to find an example supporting your claims. That's some twenty six years of being wrong... more of you count the PMs after Boris. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
No one counts the pms after Boris
