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.

I don't speak cop, WTH does that mean?

It's a little non-specific I guess

Normally domestic abuse and/or assault, I think - though sometimes used with some forms of slavery or trafficking.

Complete speculation, but it could be related to the party he's leading or staff considering how quick the resignation came. Otherwise I am sure he would've dragged his heels and said that domestic and professional life are distinct. Apparently there have been some issues within the party in Wales in terms of unity (as demonstrated by the defection).

Domestic abuse, usually.

IANAC but that reads like child sex-trafficking

Shocked. Shocked, i say.
