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! :'(

They can't claim not to be a news channel, yet call themselves literally "news".

They can't claim to be the only unbiased news and have Tory MPs interviewing other Tory MPs.

The Foxification of news needs to be thrown on the ground and stamped on. They literally want UK news to be cesspit that US news is. But anyone not too far down the crazy hole can see that is a terrible state of affairs. US News is like a warning of what happens when you deregulate news.
