UK Politics
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! :'(

Couldn't agree more, I always hear people try to frame it as some sort of hatred for the English but I've never felt this way. I'm not nationalistic at all, not a flag waver for anybody but I'd like a government that acts in the interest of the public and not in their donors interests. We have a choice between the tories who have presided over a long period of austerity, stripping public services and labour who don't seem to know who they are anymore, any progressive policy seems to be walked back for fear of upsetting the right wing voters.
Agree, I didn't have high expectations for Starmer and he's falling short of them. Just wish we'd been given a chance to see a Corbyn government.
