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.

I disagree, I think Starmer is a decent guy, more so than the Tory PMs we've had for a long time
Username says it all
Even if someone is more to the left than I am, is attacking Starmer so much really a good idea? If Labour fails over the next few years then the most likely consequence will be a Reform-led government.
It reminds me of people on the left refusing to vote for Kamala Harris in 2024 because they thought she was too pro-Israel. The consequence was Trump regaining the presidency, and Trump seems much more pro-Israel to me than Harris would have been.
