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! :'(

He established the Chakrabarti Inquiry The Forde report concluded that they basically ate themselves over the issue, so to answer your question rather than add to the downvotes yes he was a polarising leader who should have made a lot more of an effort unionising the party, but Labour as a party failed hard during that period a point where they were constantly handed big W's by the cons. They made sure he knew he wasn't a Labour leader so it's not surprising he has no issue running against them as an indie.
