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.

One Nation Tories to amend Rwanda bill to comply with international law (www.theguardian.com)

The One Nation group of centrist Tories is considering tabling amendments to Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda bill to protect the controversial legislation against breaches of international law.

Conservative MPs on the party’s moderate wing are concerned the government could cave in to demands from the right to harden the bill to avoid them voting it down in the new year.

Former justice secretary Robert Buckland, a member of the One Nation group, is considering tabling an amendment of his own to make the bill legally more safe so it is compatible with the European convention on human rights, the Guardian can reveal.
