General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

What they sometimes call an “accountability project”

Lol. Are they going to hold this government to account over the next five years? I suspect not because that's not what the people funding them want.

I imagine they might… Who do you think the people funding them are?

They’re extremely proud of small donations, but have capped larger ones at £1,250, not wanting to be beholden to anyone.

I can understand scepticism, but given their coal protest against labour prime minister Tony Blair I feel whether they agree with the actions of the people in power are more important to them than the party political flavour.
