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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
I don't expect labour to be full blown left, just actually left rather than ever so slightly to the left of the Tories.
They're a lot left of the Tories, what do you want about? For example, they are proposing taxes on the rich, and actually doing something about climate change, pretty left leaning. Not as much as perhaps the greens or some of the independence would like, but much more than the Tories ever did, which was bugger all in both regards.
Remember that the Tories on losing voters to hard right extremists, so some of their voter base must be extremists. Labour are not losing any votes to Reform.
