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! :'(

He might’ve been born with a silver spoon up his arse, but he’s still morally rolling in the gutter with the worst of them.

What's worse is he has no opinions of his own. He's simply saying this because it will make the needle move. He'd just as quickly endorse the trans community if he thought they would help him stay in power.

He's being coached on what to say and how to say it - that's why he repeats the same points over and over. This is just another one of those points.

Not only that but he then sort out another bigger spoon to shove down the other end so the two could meet in the middle.
