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.

It's definitely their worst fear. They'd rather hand their country to the fascists than allow any kind of progressive government, just like the Democrats in the US.
You know that, six months after leading Labour to a wipeout at the hands of the Faragists, Starmer would be on the boards of at least three companies, the beneficiary of offshore bank accounts worth hundreds of millions and spending most of his time on his yacht. The Owners reward their loyal servants.
Funny, because the non-voters handed it to fascists when they had no chance at getting their progressive government anyway.
Cringe.
