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.

The anti-democratic cabal at the heart of the labour party refuses to cede any possibility of real change once again.

Starmer will take the party down at the next election. His polling is worse than Sunak, even worse than Truss. In fact his polling is the worst of any PM on record.

If Labour want to be in government next term, they must replace Starmer with time to spare to allow the successor to get some policies through. That means a change of leader this year or next.
