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! :'(
Labour love's a good purge.
You know who didn't engage in a purge, but definitely fucking should have? Jeremy Corbyn
Not his style.
Corby's biggest weakness is that he was too nice, when he should have been making Stalin look like a libdem
Now those are two words I never thought I'd see in the same sentence
He didn't need to do anything other than push open selection. The PLP was the powerbase of the right wing. It could have neutralised that imbalance rapidly.
He ended up purged himself, and is now running as an independent.
Good times.
