UK Politics
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! :'(

It was mentioned she's a double citizen in multiple news articles at one point, I'm pretty sure I even read it in the guardian, but it's not coming up when I'm searching for it now either, just that the PM and his wife have 'israeli family'.
Maybe you are thinking of this guardian article it touches the topic area near the end though doesn’t mention dual citizenship
I hadn't actualy read that one, I don't think.
Holy shit though, according this article Starmer's wife's mother converted (not an easy process in Judaism!) but apprently Starmer's FIL and his family don't accept her as actually Jewish? That's not how conversion works with Judaism, if you manage to get in, you're actually in, and if you're a woman, any kids you have will be born Jewish.
And not to mention converts are allowed isreali citizenship under their law of return, just like any other Jewish person.
