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.

I think this was pretty expected. I think there are also other levers that could be pulled to help, such as giving renters more rights, that would make being a landlord less apealing and wold help the country as a whole not just London.

Yes, and I'm sure we can count on Starmer to block those too.

More likely to pull those leavers than the conservatives were.

And the proof of that is what, exactly?

I agree with you that there are levers but I do not expect any of them to be pulled
