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.

IRA murdered Catholics just for doing business with the wrong people.
Also, Jeremy Corbyn chose to be neutral over brexit in the 2019 referendum. Only Lib Dems were anti brexit. So the vote split. He would have been better just pushing a second referendum.
They did plenty yeah, how does that make the bad things the UK government did ok?
Fair enough, I disagree with him on that as well. There again the society I would like would be a bit incompatible with the EU as it is right now, maybe I'm just more radical than I was in 2016.
Oh, we moved on from IRA to Brexit. Seems you just hate Corbyn and are running through the greatest hits. Waiting for the next whatabout...
I can dislike a politician for multiple reasons. Vote splits are bad. Kier isn't too bad as people let on. A little spineless though
In your opinion, he isn't bad. Vote splits aren't ideal and hopefully it doesn't help Reform. However, Keir would be wise to remember he leads the Labour party and his inability to take on the views of his MPs is arrogance of the highest order that may be his downfall. The choice is in his hands.
Of course, his authoritarian streak in regards to proscribing orgs, and removing privacy from adults trying to access sensitive websites is just pushing people to Farage and Corbyn. If he was spineless, he wouldn't be ignoring his whole party.
Many members got pushed from Labour, or banned and he should own his decisions.
