UK Politics
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.

Mandleson has somehow crawled back from multiple scandals.
At this point he's radioactive to any government
Somehow I think this is the last nail in his political coffin.
That coffin is made almost entirely from last nails.
Mandelson is the proverbial cockroach that can't be annihilated by nuclear war or even political scandal.
Give him time. Already published this week in the Spectator giving his views about how great Trump is etc. Next week he'll be back on the evening dinner circuit, the week after back in Westminster. By Spring he'll be in the cabinet as Foreign Sectetary.
