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.

Compared to MPs expenses scandal, or Farage's undeclared £5 million (plus his dodgy house buying tactic) and their denial of wring doing or even why people might have an issue each step of the way him owning up, accepting responsibility and paying what's owed and the fine is very much "paying his fair share".
Could he do better? Yes, of course. Is he doing better that most non-Green national level policians? Seems to be.
Don't forget everyone shat the bed over Rayner's recent tax fuckup, so it's only fair.
On par with every other lying politician is a more apt description. There's been so many lies.
I mean, he's a former lib dem not the second coming of Rosa Luxembourg and Simone Weil.
And in response to your other one, politicians who aren't right wing tend to get much more flak for these behaviours.
