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.

Ok, so then when he became party leader?
The 'hypnoboob' thing wasn't in any way a lie now was it. And again, it's of zero consequence. I think you're gasping at straws here, especially if you compare his record to literally any other party leader. Who's your guy?
Because they didn't know about it! They have to research and check this stuff and that takes time.
Suspiciously exactly the amount of time it takes before he's involved in a high profile election? I'm minded not to believe in coincidences like this when there's a much more likely explanation.
Journalist doing their job is the most likely explanation.
No, the explanation of the timing of the piece, not its existence.
