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! :'(

MODERATORS
How can you say they share the same policies when they obviously don't?
Immigration for one an area in which the Tories are normally strong but Labour are absolutely beating them over their head and telling them to just start processing the applications instead of messing around with this pointless deportation deal. So labour would process the applications. That's a massive difference right there.
Because what is labour's actual policy on immigration? What you're describing is just rhetoric, what is their actual policy? Because if we assume the Rwanda plan stays dead, then there's no actual difference in their policy.
And then there's the response to the energy crisis, privatisation of the NHS, the EU, Gender recognition, Israel-palestine, power devolution, nationalising rail, and probably at least a few more I can't recall off the top of my head that are all major issues where Starmer is exactly the same as the Tories.
