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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sir Keir Starmer has insisted there is no case for rejoining the European Union, after the government accused him of wanting to reverse Brexit.
His remarks were livestreamed but first reported by Sky News on Thursday, prompting claims from Tory ministers that Sir Keir was changing his stance on Brexit.
Housing Secretary Michael Gove said they revealed "the real Keir Starmer" and that he wanted to "re-run the Brexit agonies of the past".
Asked about the Tory criticism of his comments during a visit to the London Stock Exchange, Sir Keir told broadcasters: "I have repeatedly said that there's no case for going back into the EU and that includes the single market and the customs union."
Sir Keir, a former Remain supporter, unsuccessfully campaigned for a second EU referendum as Labour's shadow Brexit secretary under Jeremy Corbyn.
Labour says it would negotiate a new agreement on the movement on animal products, and recently said it wanted a new deal with the EU to stop migrant crossings over the English Channel.
