UK Politics
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! :'(

Here's a few examples from a source a touch less biased
Cheers, I'll take a look at this.
Mixed feelings about that article.
It doesn't sound like a few of these people did their job or acted very professionally. Others sound like strange reasons, and some should have been ejected that haven't.
Pretty sure I read similar articles under the previous leadership, but with centerists claiming to be picked on. It's a shame that there are a constant flow of articles about Labour infighting which makes them look a lot more disorganised than other parties, and which is why I wouldn't expect them to talk to the press about this. There is no upside to airing your dirty laundry.
