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! :'(

Err... Are you forgetting what your dear BoJo did to the office of PM? Or Cabbage Truss.... stability of the economy? F'ing deluded. She's havin' a laff.
i really feel like somebody who's in the job of mp because of the salary should absolutely not be an mp
I mean it's fine if they need the money. Don't want only rich people being MPs.
Her statement is so tone deaf though. MPs are well paid and get pretty reasonable "loss of office" payments for their transition out if they contest and lose a election.
As if the couple of hundred tory MPs (most of whom are well off anyway) are anywhere near to the top of the victim list!
