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 will be supportive of anybody who leads the Labour Party because where I come from we vote Labour and that will always be the case...

...So if it's Keir Starmer. I will vote for Keir Starmer. If it's Andy Burnham, I'll vote for Andy Burnham. If its Wes Streeing, I'll vote for him or whoever it could be in the future...

...I thought that was a big mistake, Brexit. And I think it's probably been proven correct.

Thoughts?

He's absolutely right about Brexit and woefully wrong about the unconditional support for Labour.

The Blairite Starmer regime has been just as awful as the Tory kakistocracy it replaced in many ways, most notably Palestine, immigrants, and the curbing of free expression.

Divide and conquer. It worked exactly as intended.

But what does Ja Rule think?
