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.

Ever since his catastrophic wishy-washy stance and behavior before Brexit, I've had the sense Jeremy Corbyn should not lead any political party. When he started Your Party, I imagined Starmer sighing a huge sigh of relief, as he could count on the fact the whole thing was going to collapse.
Keir on the other hand was crystal clear. What do you reckon to him?
is this what they call the "whataboutism"
tsk tsk
When someone says someone was a weak leader because of indecisive, logically, the correct argument is an example of a strong but shit leader.
Whataboutism is when you bring up something unrelated that someone else does. I suggest you understand terms before you try to use them.
