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
If they prepare court proceedings against Farage, anything Starmer could say might be seen as prejudicing those. So he was right to keep his mouth shut.
I don't think the guardian editors are very bright. For some time now, the tone of the article has had the intellectual comprehension of a 12-year-old. Anyone with even moderate critical thinking skills can work this out.
Then they go the extra step and publish it anyway.
The Guardian was by no means the only outlet that reported on this
