I'm astonished that both the royal family and Starmer are surviving this. UK politics almost as useless as the US.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They found the perfect scapegoat in prince Andrew "we didn't know, fuck him. Now move on"
From what I’ve heard from politics reporters, Starmer has been a dead man waling since Galton &. Denton. The reasons he’s not yet gone are a) Labour don’t want to go through the messiness of a change of leader just before elections, and b) they need someone they can get rid of after they’re wiped out in the upcoming elections
Because Israel and the CIA put a lot of time and effort into the wealthy of the UK as well as the US.
Yeah because the pedophile cabal has been protecting each other and empowering each other for decades.
Pedophilia is only one of the crimes for which they protect each other. It's an elite-impunity cabal. That's what we need to break.
You might think that the country that made sure Jimmy Savile died free with a smile on his face would have learned the lesson not to protect and empower sexual predators, but you would be wrong.
Mandelson was one of the main instigators of the cabal that drove Corbyn out as Labour leader and installed Starmer.
They put him there because they knew tramp would like him and get along over common interests :/ not a good look either, but makes a little bit more sense than simply appointing the worst person you know.
Or he bribed his way into the job knowing he’d make a ton more money with the info he’d feed his mates.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
(Thankfully.)
