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.

We can't just simply ignore Farage and Reform, and hope they'll go away.
No, but we also don't have to be his publicist either.
This article isn't news, it's just what he's said he's hoping for.
This article is a call to action for the left to form a broad coalition to stop Reform getting elected:
He said: “Labour are going to find their vote horrendously split with the Greens and Corbyn and the Gaza independents. All these different people. There is a chance that Labour vote really gets hit.”
Tactical voting will save the day.
Ask him why he's mentioned so often in the Epstein files.
Six London councils? Not a chance.
I do unfortunately still think Reform will win the next GE, but London won’t be the reason why.
To me it's very weird how every election I've been part of so far in the UK has been viewed as basically predetermined long ahead of time. What's up with that?
People are idiots who happily vote for a catchy slogan from a lovable rascal, than vote for their interests. Especially if said rascal has the financial banking of a few billionaires, can spread the slogan far and wide across all media, and can even cow the official news sources to feature it
financial backing of a few billionaires
Fun fact, most of reform's donors are either deeply invested in the fossil fuel industry or outright climate change deniers.
(Although I would be careful with the 92% number, it's technically accurate but will be misleading if you try to extrapolate policy from it, since the donors aren't single-issue donors)
I assume that's how they keep rioting at a minimum. Nobody questions if everything is going according to how they were told it would be, to paraphrase the Joker.
What’s up with that?
The owners of nearly all of the media are fascists. Farage is their boy.
Seems way too early to be making such predictions. "A week is a long time in politics" as they say
The outer-suburban councils, where everybody drives and resents congestion charges/low emission zones/cyclists/tax money being spent on public transport for metropolitan “elites”? The fash have a better chance than you think.
It'll be the Labour and Tory heartlands, which are now the Reform heartlands, that swing this their way.
Back the greens and proportional representation if you want to prevent that catastrophe.
