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's Clacton, they will elect him. There's a good reason he's running in Clacton.

To save you a click this is over the £5M ‘gift’ from Christopher Harborne, that was in no way payment for running as an MP and being aggressively pro-Crypto.

Vote Count Binface, Clacton! Make the world proud of British politics for about fifteen minutes, or these days, half a second!

Could amount, could not. I think he will get a few weeks of deep concern and strong condemnation, which will eventually be turned into his favor as another leftist attack.

[–] recursivepickle@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

Oh no! Must be terrible for him.

Anyways...

This is Britain and he's a Public School educated posh cunt distracting the plebes from the serious mismanagement and even outright pillaging that Public School educated posh cunts have done in Government in the last several decades, by scapegoating immigrants.

He's at most going to get a strong finger wagging in exchange for a "heartfelt" "promise" from him that he will never get caught doing it again.
