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.

Following on from the recent controversy, I've created a follow up post regarding the fallout between Zarah and Jeremys respective sides of Your Party. All in all a very disappointing start to what was intended to be a joyous occasion;

I'm not going to remove any of the below, as I'm not a fan of whitewashing events, nor am I seeking a refund on the money paid into the membership, as quite frankly I'm curious as to what happens next. We may not get a truly democratic party out of this, but at least I've got a front row seat for the fireworks. Sigh

~~Membership has opened for Your Party, with two tiers available; regular and concessionary.~~

~~There isn't much information around the difference between standard and concessionary membership other than the difference in price, and whether all tiers will be eligible for votes or not, so I'm enlisting the aid of my partner who will follow the path of concessionary, whilst I do the same with standard.~~

~~I feel it's right to mention that some people have raised concerns around the legitimacy of the statements that this is a truly democratic 1 person 1 vote as alluded to and not another autocratic party in nature. So I will look to provide an overview of the process from now until the end of the current roadmap highlighted in my previous post.~~

~~As for the membership fees themselves. The regular tier is set at £5 per month, or £55 per year. Whereas the concessionary is exactly half, set to £2.50 per month, or £25 per year. There seems to be no restrictions on who can sign up as concessionary or standard.~~.

Membership link removed due to subsequent updates (full update here).

I should point out that I'm not a journalist, or political expert in any sense. I'm just your run of the mill middle aged British socialist with arguably too much time on his hands. Prior to paying the initial membership fee, I wasn't affiliated with the party in any regard, nor is any of this paid advertising.

Finally, if you see this flamingo's, I'm sorry about the egregious spacing after the first line; it's their API, not me! :p .

Ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana has accused Jeremy Corbyn of overseeing a "sexist boys' club" locking women out of the founding of a new left-wing party the pair announced earlier this year.

In a statement on social media,, external Sultana said she had been sidelined by other members of the party's working group - despite an agreement that she and Corbyn would jointly authorise key steps.

Her comments come after Your Party supporters got an email on Thursday offering £55 memberships only for Corbyn to later dismisses it as "unauthorised" - telling supporters he was seeking legal advice.

Sultana said she had launched the membership website "in line with the road map" set out by the party officials.

already splitting this early is a great sign agony-deep
