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.
No she threatened as did Corbyns team. First.
The sorta crap you see in disagreements.
Edit: I'll add. Anyone who has watched Labour over the last 40 years. This is hardly a rare response to political arguments.
Tories do it as well. But do tend to be better at keeping internal arguments out of the media. I'm not so sure that is a positive trait.
Important to note. ZS and JC are not the official leaders of this new party. They are leading the founding team. And are again working together having dropped all legal threats.
Members get to vote on leadership in November. Assuming all goes as the plan declares. Both have indicated they will run. ZS still wants to lead with JC as a team. But both fully commit to a membership controlled party. And declare it up to the members to choose the leadership.
