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! :'(

if only that mattered.. She, just like the rest of them, will go on to sell books, and do "talks", and go on tv promoting both, making hundreds of thousands of pounds without having to do much of anything at all (all being ghost-written of course, maybe she has to eat a worm or two in the Jungle at most).
Parliament is these people's jumping off point for their real careers as "public speakers" and "think tank board members", they don't give a shit what impact they have on the "little people", and many if not most are happy to try and get as much out of it for themselves as they can get away with (or not, since there is no real accountability). Never forget that, because they are the ones who set the rules, and if we play by them, we will get fucked, every time.
