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! :'(

Give it up for the new week!

Conservative Party starts making sympathetic smiles and winks towards motorists over ULEZ.
Then starts talking about powers to stop local authorities putting up 20mph limits.
A call to "stand up for motorists".
(Next up, leaded petrol in every station for those poor classic car enthusiasts)

Lol, you have just described our MP (and I suspect most Tory mp’s!)

Whenever I see a photo of her I think of Nye Bevan’s comments about Tories being “lower than vermin”.

(I really should get a tshirt made of the quote and have it ready when the Tory canvassers knock.)
