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! :'(

The resignation letter goes to town on Sunak. It is fairly evident she wanted to wait to create as much damage as she could before she left.
This just shows how Tories think. The fact she is writing a letter that emphasizes the problems of the party, that will inevitably affect voting intentions, she wants to blame someone else for doing just that. Tories never see the hypocrisy of their own actions.
Goes to town on Sunak, bugs herself up and (rightly) lists no accomplishments she has achieved for her constituents. Utterly self-centered woman.
If I was Starmer, or any opposition for that matter, I would really labour the truths stated in the letter. Many are fully aware of the games played in politics. It is hard to deny those games when your own side points them out.
Very much agreed, although Dorries doesn’t seem the most stable of characters so I guess the risk is getting lumped in with the crazy.
