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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

The chips are going down. If this backfires it'll end Corbyn's political career, if it succeeds it'll replace labour like the SNP did in Scotland.
This is a big gamble and it's crunch time.
Corbyn, being 76, is due retirement anyway. i doubt he has much to lose at this point and everything to gain
Corbyn's leadership days were over. Looked like he was going to finish out representing his constituents.
I don't think he wants to do this, but he may feel it needs to happen.
He cares less about his needs and more about the people. Politics was brutal for him.
