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.

Similar to when he brings out the Jeremy Corbyn digs at PMQs. That was ages ago mate, get over it.
That was like 2 PM's ago. Back when we had a PM the country had voted for, back before we had a PM his own party had voted for.
He won’t be bullied by the powerful checks notes murdered teenager lobby
The parents of murdered children have had it too good for too long.
