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! :'(

How dare he actually prioritise getting elected and outting the Tories.

Putting the (Red) Tories back in power.

Just because there are two things that are not what you would choose, does not make them the same. The current Labour party are not the same as the current Tory party.

I don't like beetroot, but if I had to choose between drinking beetroot juice and bleach, throwing my hands in the air and saying "both of these are as bad as each other" is simply not true.

The conservatives are a bleach that have been poisoning this country for the most 13 years.

Anyone (at this point in the election cycle) suggesting Starmer is a Tories is either actively at accidentally working for the Conservative Party electoral machine.

He could go on stage and take a steaming dump on the podium and still out the tories
