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! :'(

Is there much left to sell off?
Well the amount that we have paid into it, we must own a fair portion of 55 Tufton St. That would be something the public would not miss.
Gibraltar and the Falklands are being eyed up by foreign governments, I’m sure they could fetch a good price.
Actually, I’m surprised the Tories haven’t already thought of this.
You realise they are not owned by the UK? They are a British overseas territory. This means we control the defence and foreign relations only. Gibraltar sets its own laws and tax.
