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! :'(

Rishi Sunak has staked his premiership on Rwanda – but the electorate will punish him for it | Henry Hill (www.theguardian.com)

I thought it was worth sharing this critique of the Rwanda policy from a Conservative point of view.

Henry Hill, deputy editor of Conservative Home, takes a largely practical point of view, with two main related arguments: the policy won't work on its own terms and, if it does, it won't shift any votes anyway.

Misread the writer as “Harry Hill”, thought that would be fitting for this government

So which is better? Spending years and millions of pounds obsessively trying to send a handful of immigrants to Rwanda, or literally any other policy? There's only one way to find out: FIGHT!!!
