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.

  1. It wasn't the Online Safety Act that blocked this. I am sure it along with its accompanying article is still available un-age restricted on the BBC, unblocked by the Online Safety Act. It was Twitter that blocked it.
  2. It isn't really a "negative" headline about Labour, it's just what the Labour politician said. I think it's more likely that Twitter decided to block it because it was overall a pro-Palestinian article, than that Labour had anything to do with it. As far as I'm aware of Twitter's management's stance on UK politics I would imagine they love shitting on Labour and censoring things about Palestine.
