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.

Although Reform has raised a total of £36m in that period, analysis by the Nerve reveals that more than £29m has come from traditionally Conservative sources. That figure, along with a slew of recent defections from the Tory party, has alarmed many Reform members; some say this confirms their view that Reform UK is really the Conservative party in disguise. At the time of writing, half of Reform UK’s newly announced “shadow cabinet” are former Tory ministers.
