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! :'(

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a later interview with Times Radio, Duncan said other Tory MPs and ministers, including Michael Gove, Oliver Dowden, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and Priti Patel, were also extremists for not condemning illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land.
He called for Braverman, the former home secretary, who argued this week that Israel is not impeding aid getting into Gaza, to lose the Tory whip.
Speaking to Times Radio, Duncan said: “For Suella Braverman today to say that there is not a humanitarian problem in Gaza and there’s plenty of food and she’s seen the photographs.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews said Duncan’s comments “effectively accuse two Conservative peers, one of whom is Jewish, of dual loyalties” and described this as “disgraceful”.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism said it was “not the first time [Duncan] has made accusations of parliamentarians being controlled by Israel”, and called for him to be expelled from the party.
He said: “If this is indeed their intention, I will probably be the only person ever to be reproached for upholding his party’s policy and for defending the principles of international law and justice in the face of others who would undermine them.
The original article contains 644 words, the summary contains 197 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
They are fucking traitors whose first loyalty is to a foreign power which kills our citizens as well as tens of thousands of civilians without consequences
