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.

Bullshit. They put him up to the job to do exactly what he's doing (he is the perfect lapdog), and now they're using him as a scapegoat as it becomes clear he won't win another election
Yeah but. They also expect him to continue to do the job.
As soon as MPs start talking about replacing him. Or it looks like hell lose the next election. They will find a new puppet. Either in another party (reform) or within labour.
The issue is. None of the parties look to be much above 20% in polling. This leaves the billionaires with a genuine unknown future. It will be easy for the voters to move from party to party over the next 4 year leading to the election.
So at some point they are going to start funding multiple options they consider safe. Tory Reform and a Right wing Labour Leader they think can be sold to the public.
Source on the below 20% statistic? From the headlines I've been seeing is that there's a Reform UK majority.
I said no party much above." Not below.."
Latest yougov poll has ref at 22 con at 21 labour at 17.
Added to Corbyns party at 15-20% dif polls and given its 1 week old. Much is still questionable on the parties popularity.
The news on reform is not true based on current polling.
