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! :'(

Maybe now he's a candidate they can decide he's had more than his fair share?

Reform most likely, possibly for the Tories.

It's going to be funny either way I'm sure.

Did you not hear about the bellend shortage?

There's been an accident down at the knobhead factory, and output is currently so low, Britain's news resources are in danger of failing to meet it's quota of "knobheads and bellends saying things loudly".

Thankfully, Nigel Farridge is there to save us.

Aha, I must have missed it whilst I was watching Pillocks'R'Us on TV.
