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! :'(

Alternative title: People have eyes

If you cut funding to public services obviously they get worse this is not exactly a revelation. It's not that they don't know what they're doing they just don't care and they think they'll going to get away with it.

I sincerely hope they do not. I am following the tenacity that some are fighting Trump in the US. We could use some of that here.

I'm all for imprisoning Boris. He's committed enough crimes to have several life sentences by now, we just need to pick some of them.

My concern is that at the next election the Greens and the lib Dems will split the left-wing vote. So I sincerely hope that labor get their heads out of the their arse and present an actual manifesto with some actual substance to it. I'm concerned they won't.

If you listened to Ed Davey on the rest is politics last week, then you would have an impression that the LD has one main aim and that is to remove the Tories from power. I got the impression that they are willing to make sacrifices to achieve that. I do not think Labour are willing to bend as much.
