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! :'(

I love it! That internet assuredness. Ahh, it's magical.

Nobody cares what Liz Truss thinks. But you're on a UK community, reading a UK news outlet, continuing to talk about UK matters. Ooof, that's embarrassing for you.

I think people sometimes forget that the UK is still 1/8th of the core anglosphere.

Nice list of things that no-one who can vote in a US presidential election cares about.

[–] mannycalavera 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

And yet you still care enough to comment.

Please stop. This is embarrassing for you.

Oh yeah??? Well we Americans don't get into embarrassing situations, we get into WARS!!! /s

Hey, can y'all explain the lettuce thing to me? I think I recall it being something about when she was possibly going to be next in power that people started saying that lettuce had a longer shelf-life than she potentially did? We had a lot going on over here during that time and I never fully grasped the nuance of the lettuce joke and always kinda regretted that.
