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! :'(

Looks like the Labour Party have finally hired someone under 60 to handle their social media. Excellent, no notes.

If the Tories decide to waste their time debunking a meme, I reckon Labour would be pretty happy with that outcome!

Tory voters fell for bacon sandwich bullshit.

And many of the traditional tory safe seat voters. Are very prown to whataboutism as an argument.

The tory party are good at distraction politics.

Some silly distractive comment or mean is almost garrenteed to be what narrows the gap in the last 2 weeks.

Seriosly over confidence in shy tory voters learning their lesson. Really is something to take care over. At 53yo I have spent far far to much time under tory governments that more then 50% of voters hate.

Tories are good at this crap.
