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.

Craig Murray has written recently about it:

An interesting read for sure. It does seem to predate the announcement of opening memberships by a few days, so it would be interesting to see how his opinion fares on the latest announcement from the party.
As for the claims around certain factions within the party vying for control; this is definitely something people should look out for in the run up to founding the party, the piece seems genuine in its concern, rather than a smear campaign, and I think it's important people are aware of the potential for bad actors within the party (just look at what happened to labour) in the run up to the founding. Thanks for sharing!
