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'm sure everyone here already knows, but basically everything has gotten worse over the past 14 years of Tories

Vote how you like, but just remember the track record if you even remotely are entertaining a vote that would potentially benefit the Tories.

Yes but you see the war in Ukrainian happened, and Covid happened and that's responsible for all of the bad things, including the bad things that predated them. Basically the takeaway is it's everybody else's fault. Especially Labour.

That's a sneak peek of the Tory election campaign

That was pretty much his speech this afternoon, too.

Maybe by the election somebody will have told him about this amazing piece of technology, that's only just being invented and that's why he doesn't know about it, called an umbrella.
