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! :'(

Pro-tip: don't tear up the rules based order you created so that your Zionist friends can commit genocide with impunity.

They wrote in the Financial Times: “There is no question that the international world order — the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity — is under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the cold war.”

In what reality is this the case? I see people posting about the cost of living being a problem all over. We have the first generation that's slated to do worse than their parents.

Yep. And those at the top are looking for a bogy man to blame.

Happens throughout history.

Oh well if your reputable newspaper like the morning star online reports then it must be true.

Ok but it’s been on every major media outlet across the world. Perhaps you’ve been on holiday ?

I just don't pay attention to what's going on in the news because it's just "the world's ending we're all going to die", constantly. And then weirdly 6 months later we're all still here.

But I'm definitely not going to read The daily star online. It was crap when it was in print form, and it was crap now.

It's the morning star, not daily star

The skill and conviction required to lie to yourself and everyone else is a sight to behold.
