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.

What are your chances of being murdered by your partner anyway? Just say if it's 0.1%, then that makes it 0.75%.
I’m not quite sure what it is exactly you’re asking and I don’t want to presume. That aside, your risk of being murdered increasing by that amount is wild and definitely worth knowing. Small percentages only seem small in the macro. It was framed in a manner similar to how another poster in this thread stated. “If you didn’t already know, if this has happened to you, you need to make plans to leave. Now, because your life is literally in danger” sort of thing. Abusers specialise in marginalising the concerns of their partners, especially insofar as their abuse and its consequences for their partners.
Yeah, although there might be more telling signs of abusive behaviour
True there typically is but it’s pretty variable unfortunately.
