General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I've been loving the Private Eye podcast, but they only seem to do about one episode a month. I sometimes listen to The Rest Is Politics but I find it quite hard not to hate Alastair Campbell and Rory Stuart.

Any other good UK politics podcasts out there?

I'd forgotten about Reasons To Be Cheerful, I need to catch up on it. They've got such a great dynamic and Ed seems like a genuinely curious and thoughtful person.

And yeah Campbell is the worst. The guy clearly believes in nothing. Rory Stuart comes across a bit better, but still never owns up to the fact that he voted in favour of every austerity policy of the Cameron/Osbourne years. I think he means well but is too posh and out-of-touch to understand.
