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! :'(
Well to clarify, he's not the highest earning MP, he's the person with the highest diversified income who also works as an MP.
The original statement makes it sound - I suspect on purpose for clickbaity effect - as if his high income is due to his MP's salary.
I kinda doubt that claim too, given the net worth of people like Sunak, Rees-Mogg, and Zahawi. I'm guessing Farage just doesn't hide his income as well as some of the others.
Baby steps.
But of course he's not in it for the money.
He isn't. He's in it so people have to pay attention to him. The money is nice of course.
