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! :'(

I think within reason yes. But if you can fit a meeting in Scotland plus a meeting on London in on the same day by air then why wouldn't you? Personally I want my PM to be working hard day and night not sitting in cars.

Of course if we had decent fast trains up and down and side to side for the country then it would be different. But we'll never have those 🤗.

There's this amazing thing called Teams we've all learned to use over the last few years that means you don't have to be at a meeting physically anymore.

I look forward to the G20 Zoom summit....

"And can we have the view of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom please... Oh!"

"Erm, I am the Prime Minister, I'm not a cat"

The cat would do a better job.
