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.

It would be wonderful if this drove Streeting out of politics, but I'm not optimistic.

He's so scummy and evilthat it's shocking that he actually exists - or at least, that he exists under the conditions that he does, as a labour MP

Only 50k? Those are rookie numbers.

Regulatory capture is depressingly cheap.

That sounds like a made up name, are we sure this guy exists?

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 3 points 6 days ago

Regrettably, he does.
