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! :'(

It's heading in the American direction
That is because the Tories take their lead directly from Republicans. National conservative group AKA the NAT C's.
For more scary reading try the list of organisations associated with the Tories.
There's traditionally been something of a ~5 year lag in the UK following America.
Possibly faster. The COVID enquiry has absolutely more than enough information to haul Boris in front of itself. Of course they're still gathering additional evidence and they have to identify how much Rishi knew.
So we may be able to get our Trump wannabe squared away faster than the Americans can get rid of classic Trump.
