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.

I doubt it is. Zarah went into business for herself. She jumped the gun on the announcement of the party and each time goes early to increase her influence. Before this, I was a fan, but the way she's done this and then attacked JC's character is highly unprofessional and lacking in integrity.
The new party will happen, but I doubt Zarah will be part of it.
People who I know who've met JC said he's a a really lovely guy.
He's trying to create something that cannot be so easily highjacked and subverted like Labour was. There is no point succeeding as a new party just to fall in the same way and when some young person comes along with a rush of blood to the head, social media hype and impatience while not listening, it must be highly frustrating.
