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:
All 18 Labour councillors in Slough have called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza - a position at odds with party leader Sir Keir Starmer.
Slough group leader Pavitar Kaur Mann told the BBC they had "watched with absolute horror what's been happening".
Labour leader Sir Keir argued on Tuesday that a ceasefire would leave Hamas's infrastructure intact.
Slough's Labour group leader Ms Mann said constituents were raising "very significant concerns" about the "humanitarian impact on the Palestinian population".
"There must be unimpeded, unconditional humanitarian access to Gaza, to enable vital food, water, fuel and medical supplies to meet the urgent needs of innocent civilians."
Human rights group Amnesty International has accused the Labour leader of failing to show "the clear and principled leadership that this decades-old crisis needs".
