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! :'(

Y'know, I understand why the Canary publish this kind of misinformation. Their whole business model is based on inciting directionless outrage. What I can't understand is why people, like everyone else in this thread, keep falling for it.
My current theory is they purposefully try to cause splits in the left. There's no other reasoning for them to continue to be this bad after very nearly a decade of continually publishing utter tosh.
Yes, it's like some sort of horseshoe theory of spin. The Tories say Starmer breaks all his pledges and some people on the left reply, 'Yes, Tories! Please tell me more!' As though that's... helping?
