General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Maybe its genuine on his part then and he isn't playing dumb he just doesn't actually realise that Labour has been bought and paid for by the rich and wealthy since the end of the 90s. He does keep thinking he can get Labour to change tune, yesterdays interview on channel 4 he is still talking like Labour can be pressured into wealth taxes to save themselves from wipe out in 2028.

I think he is just hedging his bets and knows that he has to pick a horse with the power to make the change, however likely that is, rather than betting on the fastest horse around but which is never going to get out of the gates.
