UK Politics
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.

Honestly I think these two things are the biggest takeaways that Labour need to get a grip on.
They need to shut up about "small boats", they are not going to win reform voters over (a fact that should be obvious to a concussed duckling), and their own voters aren't interested. They also need to stop fawning all over Israel, it's a bad look and comes from a position of overcompensation, and it turns out they don't need to compensate at all, because again, their potential voters don't care.
I really thought that a former lawyer would be smart enough to not play the opposition's games.
