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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This isn't incompetence. Like every 21st century major "Labor" party, the UK's is a neoliberal corporate whore, and Starmer is at the top.

Remember Brexit? The UK is much closer to fascism, and is more of a plutocracy, than the majority of the EU.

The secret to a good shit post is to spell the actual party you're trying to malign correctly ๐Ÿ˜Š. Not simply fill your reply with all the buzzwords you can think of.

Neoliberalismo, corporations, fascismo, racista..... That's numberwang!

Nice ad hominem. Care to attack my argument, or would you prefer to continue defending a PM who acts on behalf of the wealthy and corporations; foreign corporations โ€” who have bent the knee to fascism โ€” no less?

Corporations, bend the knee, fascism.

That's numberwang!
