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.

Reminds me of how a lot of European top politicians got jobs at Gazprom after being Putins inside men. Gerhard Schröder, Carl Bildt etc.

How quickly did the public turn on him when he became PM, because it was about 4 minutes I seem to remember, he went from the person who gives everyone free money, to a slimy untrustworthy scumbag.
What. A. Surprise.
Conflict of interest? Hello? The fuck...
Anthropic too? Shame
"Too"? Why would you expect anything else from them?
Anthropic rarely breaks the news for this kind of stuff.
It's still an AI company founded by a bunch of ex OpenAI higher ups with billions in funding from big tech and venture capital. It's the exact same as the others
They were in the news not long ago for agreeing to pay $1.5 billion to book authors in a class action suit
Is that the Coldplay concert one?
No, that was a data analytics company called Astronomer
