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.

What is that supposed to mean? Most of the time, people vote up Novara Media articles. However, I acknowledge this is an exception to that.
Novara Media was (is) basically the mouthpiece for Jeremy Corbyn back in the day. They've never liked anything short of a Corbyn premiership and their articles have been soaked in this heavy handed not so subtle bias for pushing a decade.
So I'm not surprised that they're shitting on Starmer whom they literally view as Judas.
This is all true, and Ash Sarkar even calls herself a communist. However, I'd rather my news outlets wore their politics on their sleeve, than trying to hide behind supposed "impartiality". Are there even any neutral news outlets?
GB News also wears their politics on their cravats 🤣. And yeah fair enough NV are unabashedly what they believe in.
Are there any neutral news outlets? Probably not strictly. But some are at least trying harder than others.
