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.

A new party has entered Britain's political scene to the right of Nigel Farage's Reform UK, declaring that "millions must go" and pledging a ban on halal and kosher slaughter.

The far-right Restore Britain party was launched on Friday night in Great Yarmouth by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe and has been endorsed by Elon Musk.

Lowe, a millionaire businessman and farmer who used to be chairman of Southampton FC, released an "immigration policy", which he called "deportation poetry", over the weekend.

He pledged to close off visa routes for "Albania, Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and plenty more".

"Elon Musk helps to launch ridiculous double-far-right party, to make his friend Nigel's actual far-right party seem reasonable by comparison"

As if that Nazi is only playing double Nazi as a complicated scheme.

As if we can take for granted that this agenda won't be enforced.
