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.

Possibly the one person in the government - the country? - who knows what he's doing, how to do it and why he's doing it.

Oh, but he couldn't be PM though. Not after eating a bacon butty wrong.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that. Totally disqualifying.

He's certainly pretty impressive.

[–] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

I still think he should be PM!

20m to retrain oil workers as plumbers and electricians.... hmm, me thinks the EIRC are about to roll out a new compliance spec
