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:
The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) said the advert amounted to "unlawful" political campaigning.
A meeting to discuss possible sanctions with council leaders is due to take place on Thursday.
However, in a letter seen by the BBC, Bristol mayor Marvin Rees has described the proceedings as "improper" and will not be taking part.
"I am unconvinced this meeting is lawful and am of the view it is improper," Mr Rees said in the letter.
WECA interim chief executive Richard Ennis raised concerns about the advert in April and removed the bus from public view.
Mr Norris defended himself at the time, saying mayors are "meant to be visible".
