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.

The tension between him and Labour must be real
This is the best summary I could come up with:
There’s a House of Commons resolution dating back to 1688 that requires a new MP to be introduced by two current MPs at their swearing in.
One early contender had been the Tory MP David Davis, who takes his libertarian principles seriously.
These days you can be found guilty of crimes against humanity in Rishi Sunak’s Conservative party for even thinking of observing parliamentary convention by coming to someone like Galloway’s aid.
Everyone else in the Commons waiting for the start of the levelling up departmental questions studied their phones diligently.
Labour screwed up big time – they are the real villains here – and Rochdale would rather have Galloway or an independent than a Tory.
Worried he may not be able to get many opportunities to speak in parliament, he chose to hold court for a gaggle of hacks looking for a story on a slow news day.
