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! :'(

Of course he defends it and the weirdos that support him will defend it too. There's this idea running around that vying for voters is more important than integrity. People keep acting like anything other than Tory is still a thing when the reality is that Tory Light is still Tory. There's nothing about Starmer, his policies or politics that are inherently left and in fact his brazenness in being so right leaning that as a Labour leader, he can come out and praise Thatcher shows just how much he takes grassroots Labour for granted. I hope Liverpool and the north turn their back on him and Labour. Fuck them and the farce that they are!
Sure mate, we'll turn our back on the only viable way under First Past The Post to boot the ACTUAL Tories out of office.
Get of your idealistic high-horse, look around and realise this land, thanks to Murdoch and a deeply entrenched class system, is full of right wingers that'll NEVER vote in anything more left than Blair, Gordon, and Starmer into power. They just know Sunak is out of ideas and they're willing to switch sides.
Diet Tory he may be in rhetoric, but better than the full-sugar Tories rotting away the roots of our institutions and futures to sell to their mates.
