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.

Unfortunately the majority of Labour MPs still support the ideals and plans of the Blue Labour leader Starmer.
So a leadership challenge is not going to change anything. The labour right did to good a job of everything they suggested the left would do. Wipping out opposition.
A leadership change can only end up with another leader owned and run by the wealthy and opposed to any reequalizing of our economy.
As long as our government is opposed to accepting the inequality in our economy is the issue. Things for the not wealthy will only get worse. Giving the far right more opportunity to sell their false ideas. With 0 opposition.
Meanwhile the gap between economic growth going to the wealthy over the working class will continue to grow.
