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.

Labour 5 for 5 so far! I'm no statistician but if this trend continues...

I love this guy's expression.
Carol Vorderman is completely plastered on the C4 programme lol
I'm watching the ITV feed on YouTube. Dunno what other people actually from the UK would recommend because I don't really know the British media landscape.
They're currently discussing the issue of Scottish independence. I must say, I find it very frustrating, including from Nicola Sturgeon. As a complete outsider, it would seem to me the number 1 reason in favour of a second referendum is very simple: "you'll not be allowed back into the EU if you secede from the UK" was a major campaign point during the first referendum. And then 2 years later England voted to leave the EU anyway. How is Sturgeon not bringing this up?

ITV will be just fine. The Beeb's coverage is usually pretty definitive.
Unfortunately BBC doesn't seem to be live streamed on YouTube. Or if it does, it didn't turn up in my search. I was choosing between ITV, Sky News (I know Sky in the UK isn't quite the same as Sky here in Aus, but the stink of that name is very hard for me to shake off), something called "TalkTV", and two separate feeds from "The Times and The Sunday Times". Oh, and CNN, but that's just silly.

tories lost, labour didn't win. labour's vote share plunging in constituencies they won is terrible for starmer's hope for a long mandate.

Aaaand majority!
You just love to see it
Gosh what an absolute bloodbath for the Tories. While I knew the Tories would lose and massively and that Reform would have impact I didn't think this is beyond what I was expecting.
The best thing is, they did worse than the exit poll so they can't even say "we did better than expected"
