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! :'(

There's a faction that wants to emulate the Republicans: Badenoch, Braverman, Truss, to name a few.

Oh, 100%. The America-brained fools and dupes have all too much influence, but most of the MPs, members and voters of the Tories also hate Trump. Bear in mind they elected Badenoch out of sheer stupidity rather than conviction, and when they forced the invidious choice of Badenoch v. Jenrick on themselves, they picked the less Trumpy of the two.
