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.

If you were Starmer, and wanted to keep any chance to hold onto power but also not completely tarnish your legacy, what would you do?
I reckon I'd set out a timetable for departure, with a default of Andy Burnham, say "I won't start a contest, but if anyone else does, I'll put myself forward" and then wait to see what Streeting does.
That way, if Streeting (or anyone else) does challenge, you can stay in with a shot while also not being the person who caused all the chaos.
