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! :'(

Source?
Regardless of whether the quote is correct or not. This situation is definitely being used as distraction politics when we should be focusing on the policies that will directly affect the awful circumstance our country is in.

Think about it for a minute.
Do you think all the people currently struggling with the cost of living, lack of healthcare, high taxes with nothing to show for it, public services going down the drain etc etc, care about whether a political party supports a ceasefire for somewhere thousands of miles away?
It's the height of ridiculous virtue-signalling and "optics".
I dunno, that's why I was interesting in reading some analysis you may have. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume people can care about more them one thing. I find your claim unbelievable, but I'm happy to be corrected.
I'm not sure how we, as a society, have gone from I oppose the needless random killing of innocent people to oh stop virtue signalling.
