This reminds me very much of when Bernie Sanders went on Fox News and the ensuing arguments. I doubt he was happy about it, but it was something he, as a potential candidate for high office, had to do.

Totally respect Kim Johnson's personal stance, though. Don't read The Scum!

As someone who lived in Liverpool for a while—this is a really bad look

Fortunately, you got out of there though.

Kim Johnson said city, much of which still boycotts paper over false Hillsborough reporting, would be disappointed in Labour

Yeah, and there's suddenly going to be a massive swing to the Conservatives in Liverpool because of this, isn't there? 🤣

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.
