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.

Updates:

The government has now also referred material concerning this to the police. They're also going to table legislation to strip Mandelson of his peerage which, given the size of the government's majority and the fact that all the opposition parties apart from the Conservatives have demanded it, is more-or-less certain to pass.

Honestly, I don't see how this is not a resigning matter for whoever signed off on ignoring security advice about Mandelson - up to and including the PM.
