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! :'(

Calling it vandalism is a bit excessive, that seems like constructive criticism to me.
Based?
Death threats are never based.
So unless they're German and wrote "The Tory Scum", it's unfathomably unbased unfortunately.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jeremy Hunt’s constituency office in Surrey has been vandalised with graffiti saying “die Tory scum” on the eve of his spring budget statement.
Police are investigating after the front door and two windows of the chancellor’s local office in Hindhead were defaced.
A spokesperson for Surrey police said: “Officers were called following reports of criminal damage at a property on Tilford Road in Hindhead, which is believed to have taken place between 8pm and 9pm on Monday 4 March.
“If anyone has any information that could help our investigation, including any CCTV, dashcam or helmet cam footage, please contact us via live chat on our website quoting PR/45240025530.”
Lisa Nandy, the Labour MP and shadow international development secretary, recently spoke of how she carried a police alarm with her everywhere and only saw her constituents by appointment.
The Commons speaker also spoke of his deep concern about the security of MPs being a factor in his decision to break with precedent and allow Labour to table a vote during an SNP debate calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The original article contains 435 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 59%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Ahh yes. That'll teach him.....
Whilst also signalling to anyone who may have thought that they could get into politics to push back against Tory policies and actually try to make the world a better place.
Seriously, why would anyone sign up for that?
Not that I'm approving of the possible death threat element, but I suppose if you were trying to make the world a better place, on the whole people are less likely to feel the need to call you "scum".
Who let the lemmygrad user out of their mum's basement?
Who ruined the UK economy?
The Tories?
