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! :'(

Hello exhibit A, thanks for joining us. Would you like to calm down and try again?
I agree though, Corbyn losing votes was Corbyn's fault. This then means Kier pushing the left not to vote for him is Kier's fault.
Except Labour supporters want it both ways, it was the left's fault that Corbyn lost the election, and Starmer not winning the left's vote is also the left's fault.
This is called a double bind. I hope that clears things up for you.
I'm fine. I just find it amusing watching a party that spends it time blaming everyone else.
Corbyn lost the election because:
Starmer has the same issue, watching the Labour left crucify him for policies he doesn't have, and misrepresenting his caution for committing money to projects when the Tories still have time to wreck and pillage everything further as reasons he won't support the NHS at all is amazingly short sighted.
I know right? That's what the double bind does. "It's the left's fault Corbyn lost the election, it's the left's fault they won't vote for Starmer". At least we can all have a bit of chuckle at them.
