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 really don't get your position. You keep asserting that Starmer is "electable," but here you acknowledge that his action are alienating to both people within the party and outside of it.

The only thing Starmer has going for him is extreme luck. If Boris hadn't fucked up Covid so bad and made the Tories so unpopular, I doubt Starmer would have the capabilities to win this election.

I think I've been saying in all these posts that Corbyn in unelectable rather than Starmer is electable. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.
