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.

Sarwar was on BBC Radio Scotland this morning chatting shite about how ScotLab will smash the SNP, in response to this election result.

Mans only has one thing to say, Swinney lives rent free in his heid at all times.

The whole point of the interview was analysis of this Green victory and what that could mean for the Labour party going forward, and instead he couldn't stop blethering about the SNP.

Labour have so little positive to say you can see why he is saying this crap. Will they even publish a manifesto for Holyrood? Pretty sure nobody else has yet, and the Tory one is likely to be a pamphlet, with Reform's being a sheet of single ply loo roll

~~Scottish Labour's~~ Sarwar's Manifesto:

'am no' the fucking SNP, 'am no' the racist Reform, 'am amazing, vote for me! I mean, us. Aye, us, Labour. Sorry, Scottish Labour. 👀

Gi'e me the joab already! Wahhhhhh


I've had some Scot Lab adverts show up and they all had ANAS SARWAR in massive writing at the end instead of Scottish Labour
