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.

I cannot see a way out of this for Starmer. Extremely poor judgement or a willingness to turn a blind eye. Either way it’s bad.

I'm just going to try to protect the reputation I have with you.

I have seen actions taken by the Starmer led Labour party that are in line with economic left wing values.
I am not in a state recently where I can bust my ass remembering them and looking up the evidence for it.
I have consistently voted 3rd party in the uk, tried to convince others to do the same etc.
I have left the UK because not only were the conservatives stoking racist fires, labour were not going to do a fucking thing to roll back dragnet surveillance (in fact, literally made it worse!)
I want people to not devolve into the same shit flinging , purity test laden crap that's happening in the US to also happen in the UK so that Farage gets the country instead. because of the first point, I want people to give credit to labour the way they didn't for the left wing actions taken by the Biden government in the US, and for the same thing (switch to fascism) to not happen in the UK.

Sorry about not citing reference, try again in a few weeks.
