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.

Archive link for those of us in the customs union.

Uh oh 😳. It's Wes Streeting whom we all hate because of NHS. But he wants us to rejoin the Custom's Union. Fuck! How do we choose? Will it be a path to rejoining or will it be in fighting and dogma? 🫠😜.

Anyone who disagree with you is x, y and z.

No, anyone who voted for Brexshit is in one of the three groups.

Ad hominem attacks due to your poor reasoning skills

Being factual is not "ad hominem attack"

Anyone who votes against what you want should have their rights to vote taken away

No, fascists, racists and nazis should have their voting rights removed.

Are you arguing in bad faith, completely distorting everything I am saying or are you going to claim you are seriously that thick?
