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! :'(

Any idea when we're due to hear more about the WhatsApp stuff?
There was a quiet article that access was gained to the phone last week.
I guess there isn't much more to be said until either the legal announcements, or if someone else with copies decides to publish them for political gain.
Now that access to the phone has been gained I suspect the contents will be reviewed by several lawyers in depth, probably with Boris right there. Given that there will be months if not several years of messages to review, I’d not expect an update for a few weeks, unless a decision is made to trickle stuff through to the committee as it gets cleared.
