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! :'(

Wasn't planning on going, but am now seriously considering it. Why is Cruella getting involved.

I don't know anyone who doesn't have sympathy for the Israelis that were impacted by the Hamas attack, but 10k Palestinians killed in 30 days is more than all the civilian casualties in the Ukraine war todate.

Wanting an end to Palestinian deaths is not the same as supporting Hamas.

she said: “We are fans in my household of Larry David and Jackie Mason. I’m the number one supporter of Friday night dinners at my husband’s family – including chicken schnitzel.”

Wow I didn't realise she was a Zionist. 🤣

She's unelected

Oh she wasn't elected in Fareham in 2015?

I understand that she's terrible at her job and needs to be out of office as soon as possible but this level of wild hyperbole does no good for discussion.

If you want to talk about hyperbole she called ceasefire protests "hate marches".

Don't lower yourself to her disgustingly low standards. She feeds off division. The best way to counter it is to be level headed and explain the facts and the truths in a rational way.

That's good advice.
