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! :'(

What a stupid shit show this all is. Isreal and Hamas aren’t going to be like “well guys Jess Phillips says we should stop killing each other so let’s chill out.”
The whole vote on calling for a ceasefire is idiotic, and it’s even more idiotic that Starmer imposed the whip. Labour getting bogged down in ideological purity bullshit yet again.
Starmer is utterly terrified of getting painted with the anti-semitism brush, and is massively overcompensating as a result
the uk and us are the two biggest countries in the g7. putting pressure on the presumptive next government to push for a policy which holds aid contingent on reducing violence and pushing for a two state solution is exactly what this does.
