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.

Oh wow, so 2m has been given to Reform UK, I wonder where there 1m will go, and how the 500k will be spent, especially as the 250k might not be enough to fund the campaign, and the 125k might not reach that far after everyone in this reputable party has taken their cut.

What a prick

Why would a man who previously supported mathematics, science, altruistic giving, neurodivergent students and medicine, suddenly flip into being a Reform supporter?

Does this mean he's been diddling some kids and needs access to the "special paedogarchy lawyers that make allegations dissapear"?
