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 added: “Something is happening out there. There is a rejection of the political class going on in this country in a way that has not been seen in modern times.”

I see, so what we need is a slimy career politician running the party which is full of privileged career politicians. That'll really shake things up!

“The public hates slimy tory, self seeking politicians? This is the perfect time for I, the slimiest of all, to appear!”

Look, just because he's a public school educated, ex-stockbrocker, career politician with deep ties to the media doesnt make him a part of the elite he loves to rail against.

The 'something' was Brexit!
