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! :'(

Yeah something like that probably would be sufficient. But maybe Starmer's statement was more flattering because he really wants the US-UK relationship to work. Europe perhaps doesn't need to be so flattering, especially since Europe is a much bigger bloc, so it can throw its own weight around a bit more (e.g. if the EU introduced tariffs on US goods it would presumably hurt the US more, compared to if Britain did the same thing).
Maybe I'm wrong, I dunno.
