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.

This party was on December 14th 2020

Here’s what the tories had just said to the country on December 14th 2020

Health and Social Care Secretary's statement on coronavirus (COVID-19): 14 December 2020

And sadly, on average each day over the past week 420 deaths have been reported

….

we must act now

….

We should never lose sight of our own role in this – our personal responsibility.

Each and every one of us to respect the rules where you are don’t ease up on those simple steps that keep us safe: like hands, face, and space. The social distancing that we need. And to come forward and get a test.

This moment is a salutary warning for the whole country – this isn’t over yet.

Please play your part and do all you can to stop the spread of this disease.

People will make retrospective arguments about what others were doing. But the fact that we have to trust these people and they prove themselves to be hypocrites time and time again means they should not be working in some of the most senior, influential roles in public office.

‘integrity’ is putting the obligations of public service above your own personal interests
