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! :'(

It's almost like he's getting paid by someone not in the UK to do something other than participate in our democracy in good faith. What an outlandish notion.

But the question is more about why nobody calls him out for it. The standard for Labour is perfection, the standard for Reform is "Oh, that's just Nige."

Reactionaries aren't known for their internally consistent ideologies.

Edit: swiftly moving past the point about Labour being perfect, mind you

It's not just reactionaries though, it's the entire political and media establishment.
