UK Politics
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.

You: I'm going to lie and say this thing happened.
Me: That didn't happen
You: I'm going to continue putting words in this guy's mouth.
Starmer is absolutely at fault for his actions. The small snag with your accusation is that Starmer isn't selling weapons to Israel, nor did he "overthrow" Corbyn, and not did he cause the riots. As they aren't his actions, he should not be held at fault.
So, wait, who is sending these weapons to Israel? Are they just magically being put on the plane or something?
It's like I am arguing with someone in an alternate reality denying everything which has happened and which can very easily be fact-checked with a simple Google search.
We aren't sending weapons to Israel.
Where do you live?
The UK.
We aren't sending weapons to Israel. That stopped a while ago. We have condemned them, said we'd arrest key government figures if they came into our jurisdiction, and sanctioned their ministers lol.
We are no pro Israel, no matter how much Hamas supporters say we are.
The UK is sending weapons to Israel.
