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.

How people have voted for someone who shows such disrespect for the place he represents I don't know
Have you watched any of the videos of the people in Clacton?
Too many boomers practically jizzing in their shorts at the prospect of the Royal Navy sinking migrant boats.
They don't care that Reform would sell of the NHS and raid their pensions, as long as the brown people are abused and kicked out.
The clips have been pretty bad. There's been a element of only interviewing those who are confirmed reform supporters.
Anyone with a different attitude got shot down sharpish by the reporters.
Ofcom needs to investigate the coverage of the by election.
I've heard similar about "man on the street interviews" being staged or the participants vetted.
Ofcom should be looking into it.
57% didn't vote. Britlanders get the government they deserve.
