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! :'(

With their numbers the amendment might succeed, in which case the lunatics on the right will vote it down. And if the One Nation amendment fails, then they'll vote it down themselves. You love to see it.
Interesting tactical decision for Labour and the other opposition parties. Vote in favour of the amendment, then against the bill whether or not the amendment passes? Or vote against the amendment and also against the bill? I'm not sure which is most likely to make the bill fail because it depends on the numbers of Tory rebels on different sides of the party, how many of them are willing to actually risk defeating their own government, and whether they then abstain or vote against.
