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 feel like Private Eye is what the entire media should be. It has real hard-hitting, investigative journalism. It's also immensely depressing. :(

highly recommend the Private Eye podcast (and magazine, but the podcast is more digestible): https://www.private-eye.co.uk/podcast
Fuck you for making me click a Shitter link
Don't blindly click every link you see?
It's a minor problem with Sync for Lemmy, the actual link destination is fucking tiny and hard to see
Not my fault, stop feeding the south African racist cunt's company
Increase the font size? I use Sync and I don't accidentally go on websites I don't like.
You like Twatter?!?
I thought your avatar was the Buddhist dharmachakra alas it's a...wheel.
Since it doesn‘t exactly sound funny: He didn‘t make you click that link, and you‘re an ass
The actual link destination is very hard to see in the description, and you're a cunt
He should be Prime Minister.
I almost thought that logo was GBNews or something. I'm pleased that I was wrong, both because Paxton isn't working for GBNews and also because I apparently don't know their logo.
Gotta love the guffwah Paxton gave when Hislop called out Berry for talking over people, quickly saving his impartiality with "now two wrongs don't make a right".
Peston acting like it's all a bit of bants 😡😡😡
