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
Notice how he was stripped over the whip because of the comments of Sadiq Khan, and not the comments of Lee Anderson. Odd that.
No, his comments regarding Khan, not Khan's response
No it was absolutely his response. Our ust while MP wouldn't have done anything about it it hadn't been a backlash, he's pathetic
If he had any spine at all he would have also removed the whip from Truss as this is the second far right convention she's been to, a convention in which one speaker spoke about overthrowing the legitimate government of the United States. So she's now openly declaring an open desire to disrupt democracy in the political process of an ally.
You're right, but this is still Anderson's fault, not Khan's.
