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.

Not the only censorship of the night either, they cut the sound on Jack Whitehall as well

The joke is weird as hell though, as it kinda implicates Andy Burnham as being in the same circles as Peter Mandelson, when Burnham was the one being fucked over by his own party

I definitely didn't take it that way - they're both politicians, Labour politicians at that, I think that's enough of a link for a joke without needing to read anything extra into it.

Being weird doesn't justify censorship, and I don't think the joke does what you suggest it does.

sees Andy Burnham

This is the only party he's allowed into these days

(referring to his exclusion by the Labour party from standing as an MP)

sees Lisa Nandy is sitting at the same table

This must be the politicians' table. I wonder who else is here, I think I saw Peter Mandelson on the list. Oh, wait, that was another list...

(referring to a guest list and the Epstein list, no implication that Burnham and Mandelson are linked except by both being politicians)
