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! :'(

Rishi Sunak out of touch? I am frankly shocked.

He has previously accused Sir Keir of stoking a “class war” with Labour’s plan to scrap private schools’ exemption from paying 20 per cent VAT.

Yes! Class warfare. That’s what we need! Do it now.

Good Political theatre from Starmer . Emotive subject. Will appeal the embittered red wall voters, gammon and curmudgeons. Not much money in it . Stops people talking about every thing he lied about, like uncapped bankers bonuses - which itself carries more systemic risk .
