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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mrs Braverman, a leading figure on the right of the party, claimed she struck a secret deal to serve in Mr Sunak's cabinet in exchange for a series of commitments, after Liz Truss's premiership imploded last year.
A No 10 spokesman thanked Mrs Braverman for her service, but added: "The prime minister was proud to appoint a strong, united team yesterday focused on delivering for the British people."
"I have become hoarse urging you to consider legislation to ban the hate marches and help stem the rising tide of racism, intimidation and terrorist glorification threatening community cohesion," she added, accusing the PM of putting off "tough decisions in order to minimise political risk to yourself".
Mrs Braverman told the PM that if the ruling went against the government, he would have "wasted a year" on the Illegal Migration Act, which aimed to stop small boat crossings, "only to arrive back at square one".
Mrs Braverman said the government's policy was "far from secure against legal challenge", and even if it won in the Supreme Court it would "struggle to deliver" on the Rwanda scheme because of "compromises" insisted on by Mr Sunak in legislation.
A No 10 spokesman said the government had "brought forward the toughest legislation to tackle illegal migration this country has seen and has subsequently reduced the number of boat crossings by a third this year".
