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! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Alexei Navalny once hit out at the "corrupt officials" living in London who allegedly help Vladimir Putin's regime stash dirty money, Sky News can reveal.
In a never-before-seen interview acquired by Sky News, the late Russian opposition leader spoke about his hope for a better future for his country - and the risks he knew he was taking.
The wide-ranging interview takes in his hopes for a Russian future as part of Europe, his personal safety and some tough words for Britain and the West when it came to letting Mr Putin's associates get away with it.
The interview, acquired by Sky News and broadcast for the first time, was shot as part of an unaired documentary series, After The Fall, directed by Matthew Torne and produced by Andrew Duncan.
"These people, they will appear very civilised, we will be pleased to chat with them if they sit next to us, they will be wearing a tie and fine manners, and at the same time they are serving the interests of utter, complete bandits."
The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office paid tribute to Mr Navalny's life exposing Russian corruption.
