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.

I joined last night, the list of things I wanted to talk to my MP about got too long, I realised I was no longer aligned with the Labor party.
It's not you who got disaligned from Labour. It's Labour, with Starmer's strafe to the right to appease "undecided" and "centrist" voters, that led to Labour leaving behind those on the left who just wanted some representation after a decade and half of kleptocracy that turned the country into a tuppence whore. Labour just decided that instead of helping her, it's their turn to fuck her in the arse.
