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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nadine Dorries has resigned her Commons seat, two months after promising to quit "with immediate effect".
She launched a blistering attack on Rishi Sunak in her resignation statement, saying "history will not judge you kindly".
The Mid Bedfordshire MP first announced her intention to resign on 14 June.
She accused the prime minister of abandoning "the fundamental principles of Conservatism".
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
