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! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
But he added that the government - which granted 100 new North Sea oil and gas licences over the summer - had "made clear that no amount of protest will sway it".
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has also sought to highlight Mr Vince's support, saying it showed "eco-zealots" from Just Stop Oil are "writing Keir Starmer's energy policy".
Labour has rejected suggestions Just Stop Oil influences its policies, and defended receiving donations from Mr Vince, saying he is a "perfectly legitimate person" to accept money from.
Labour has pledged to block all new domestic oil and gas developments, but says it will honour any licences in existence at the time of the next election, expected next year.
In a statement, Just Stop Oil told the BBC it was grateful to Mr Vince for his "amazing financial and moral support over the past year".
The group said civil resistance "really works" - and it believed Labour had "no intention of stopping" the oil and gas projects the government was "furiously rubber-stamping".
