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! :'(

This is really, really bad for Starmer. But let's be honest, the gifts are only higher in value because other PMs didn't declare what they were getting!

The longer you keep pretending he's any better than any of the others, the harder the reality will smack you in the face when/if you're eventually willing to acknowledge it - Starmer is in politics to serve Starmer.

This isn't a new thing. He was late declaring donors for the leadership. Media ignored it because they hate the left of the Labour Party.

This guy is far from squeeky clean. Fortunately for him, what he follows is far worse.
