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! :'(

Didn't read the article, because the headline didn't exactly give me hope that it wasn't going to be a waste of time. Both it, and the excerpt, also infer Starmer responded directly.
Yeah who cares about facts. If you don't read the article you can just decide what it said all on your own and then complain about that
It really doesn't. The spokesperson says "I think..."
It's clearly not words from Starmer. He did not respond directly. Or seemingly even indirectly.
We might be talking about different things, I realise -- when I said "the headline" and "the excerpt", I meant the title and excerpt of the post, which says "PM says they are a British institution" (in the excerpt), and "Starmer defends sandwiches" (in the title). Sorry, I could've been clearer on that!
