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! :'(

The 36 deputies who signed a letter in the Financial Times condemning the actions of Israel in Gaza are now facing an investigation by the Board of Deputies.

A statement from the Board this morning announced that all of the signatories are now “subject to a complaints procedure”, while some senior members of the organisation have been suspended.

They include the vice-chair of the Board’s International Division, who has been suspended pending the investigation into complaints regarding the letter, which was published last Wednesday and has sparked a communal row.

Interesting bit at the end of the article:

Last Thursday, 90 leaders from the US met Rosenberg for an emergency meeting and urged him to proceed with disciplinary action against the 36 signatories.

So I guess this is another case of our institutions capitulating to the US. This shit sucks.
