UK Politics
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Because they’re centrist liberals, and attacking Starmer for not rejoining the EU or forcibly redistributing oligarchs’ mansions to the Unhoused or whatever isn’t in their agenda.
Maybe once the Tory kakistocrats have shuffled into their tarpit, they’ll start going after the Brexit elephant in the room, helping to push public opinion into rejoining the EU and drag Starmer along with it.
This is the sad truth.
Blame who you like, Brexit was an epic own goal. As was trump.
Vast, highly organised resources were behind both. It's depressing that the voting public was so easily deceived, but the volume of propaganda behind both Brexit and Trump was extraordinarily high.
Indeed it was. And the source and funding of that propaganda is as much fascinating as it is predictable.
Labour voters on the North want a word.... one word.... guess what it is? 😂
