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.

If we're going to just link to a tweet, can we at least copy the text here.
Sam Bright:
He also links to this really good article from the Byline Times.
I think, this is the first time, I've seen an "x.com" link in the wild. ๐
fair enough, is this because you dont like twitter? ill do it right next time
I do dislike Twitter, especially after Mr Muskrat took over, but it's not the only reason. One, it's annoying to have to click a link and open another website to read a paragraph of text.
Second, Twitter doesn't show full threads to people who aren't logged in. It doesn't matter in this case, but if this was multiple tweets, then people who don't have an account would only be able to read the tweet directly linked.
agree on all points. colon musk I call him
