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.

New gaffer, same as the old gaffer
I suspect he'd be much more willing to call a genocide a genocide if:
- Antisemitism allegations hadn't been so tremendously effective at smearing the Corbyn-era Labour Party.
- There wasn't still a huge chunk of the electorate who find it more plausible that the whole world would come up with an antisemitic smear campaign against Israel than that Israel would commit a genocide or any IDF soldier would commit a warcrime.
There's no room to tell the truth without being branded an antisemite by people who conflate the state of Israel with Jewish people, and there are good reasons to think his position is too tenuous to survive that.
Starmer's already a gonner, though, so there's nothing to lose from a mic drop on the way out, but there's no way he'd actually do it.
Genocide apologist
Fuck him then.
Oh hey! This was the guy who was going to save Britain from Stormtrooper! Very cool m'lord, thank you.
