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:
Web domains in the name of a Liberal Democrat MP that led people to a Conservative rival's website all appear to have been disconnected.
Two sitting Devon MPs, Conservative Simon Jupp and Richard Foord, Liberal Democrat, will go head-to-head in the general election in a new constituency.
Mr Foord, MP for Tiverton and Honiton, had said the links "serve to arouse suspicion and undermine trust".
After it emerged on Monday the links were no longer redirecting people, Mr Foord said he was considering how to take the matter further.
Nominet is the official registry for UK domain names and operates a dispute resolution service.
Mr Jupp has not yet responded to a request for comment regarding the news that the links were no longer redirecting web users to his website.
