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.

Much as I think that the rest of the Labour MPs and staff acted like malicious fools while Corbyn was leader, I think even his biggest fans would now have to agree that he may have been part of the problem.
I don't know how you can watch Zarah announce a party before others were ready then create a new membership system without agreement from the other 5 MPs and somehow find Corbyn at fault for it.
Zarah has to realise that just because you push yourself into a co-leader title, doesn't mean you can make unilateral decisions that impact on everyone without discussing it.
Because she's not the first person who's clearly found him impossible to work with. Either there's some issue with him or he's just very unlucky.
Who else other than centrists who wanted to tear him down?
Well, yeah. Being a successful politician and especially a successful political leader means dealing with people who want your job and will tear you down to get it.
Assuming they are going to work in good faith. We all know the Mandleson quote about working every day to bring about the end of Corbyn. Folk like Wes Streeting also.
Who was it? Care to name names?
This is so poorly expressed I don't think I can respond to it in good faith.
How dare you criticise dear leader!
Welp, at least there's the Greens.
