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.

MODERATORS
As you might expect, the discourse has a sprinkling of conspiracism. According to the Telegraph, there is a common belief among Restore supporters that Farage is “paid opposition”. For his part, Lowe took to one of the dozens of identical, anything-goes YouTube channels to say “there is a danger that Reform is managed opposition. I think the Establishment sort of knows that the reds and the blues may not win, so they need a safety valve.”
Or is it Restore Britain which is actually part of a secret Establishment agenda? TalkTV presenter Alex Philips speculated: “I know some Restore fanatics are fooled into thinking Reform is ‘controlled opposition’. I suspect the opposite is true,” pointing to links Lowe has with the Tories which even she admitted might be “circumstantial” as evidence. Look guys, we’ve all had our fun with the controlled opposition thing.
Why does that sound so familiar
Your man will lose.
Restore Britain for the upset. Poor Henry Nowak's murder will bring about the constituents for real change.
Reflux Britain is the party for gammon who are too racist even for Reform.
The change is police reform, so that the police will care for the life of all - even a suspected criminal; right?
