UK Politics
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! :'(
Note that the sources on the list are there due to the frequent publication of misinformation, rather than their bias alone.
As others have noted, the list can essentially be broken down into three categories: state-sponsored media outlets, clickbait-style tabloids, and extremist media outlets.
The categories themselves are just a means of summarizing what's on the list though, as outlets in those categories that maintain editorial standards that disallow misinformation wouldn't qualify for inclusion on the list.
