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.

So, hang on, Sultana has basically run two rounds of scamming donations that she has then withheld??
This story is about initial donations made at the start of the group's founding, while more recently she set up her own donation portal for everyone to register for paid membership.
No, as in both cases the money was funneled into a company set up by, amongst others, a J Corbyn. Neither Corbyn nor Sultana control this company, and the claimed intent was to make the funds independent of the party politburo. Or something.
Did you read the article?? The board of the company managing all of the initial investments resigned en masse, leaving Sultana as the sole director of the company that has all that money. Literally the 3rd fucking paragraph:
She also has sole control of the membership money, as she set that up herself without input from Corbyn.
