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 don't understand how anyone can support Farage
Mr Farage's trip was paid for by Christopher Harborne, a British tech investor based in Thailand.
It's a guy who wants to interfere with international politics. He probably doesn't believe in Farages politics, but he doesn't live here so he doesn't care. He just knows that Farage would give him a sweet deal, or the Tories would to try and gain his vote. £30k is the cost of making another million.

In November 2022, Harborne donated £1 million to The Office of Boris Johnson Ltd, one of the biggest donations ever made to an individual British politician.[
He's scum.
Well you see there was a picture of him in the pub once so obviously that means he’s just a working man like the rest of us. Also don’t like them bloody foreigners coming over here and taking our jobs 😡
Well then do you want the job?
No, I'm not doing "an immigrants job."
Why are we like this?
"we all have a duty to support and defend democracy."
🤮
Everyone says they're defending democracy.
Conservatives and hypocrisy. Name a more iconic duo.
Mr Farage declared on his register of members interests that the flights and accommodation for the trip came to £32,836.
That's quite an expensive little jaunt he had there.
His mouth is so wide open, I think he's asking for another milkshake.
Would have loved if someone had thrown a milkshake at Trump while he was working the McDonald's drive through, then these two friends could have shared everything!
"Hi, my name is Donald, how can I help you?"
"Sixteen assorted milkshakes, in a bucket, please."
Foreign influence only counts if its from guys we don't like, not like Nigel Farage
Hmm did he register as a foreign agent?
Fuck this guy, but getting Trump elected will definitely help him.
Yeah, well, labour said stuff like that was bad and then did something similar that wasn't even a fraction of a fraction as bad.
As such, they're all equally as bad as each other.
this is the guy kier starmer instructed labour to stand down for
