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.

This is why you should never vote for Reform even if you sort of agree with them. They need immigrants in order to fuel their hate based rhetoric. If they actually deported them, who would their voter base rail against?
Reforms MO is to find a group of people to blame for the current situation (because it can't be then) and then beat them over the head with abuse but never actually do anything about the problem.
(Gestures broadly at the US where trans people are being more harshly persecuted than here on TERF island, where citizens with a different skin tone other than off-creme are being deported, where the poor and the sick are being cut off from financial aid because they're "lazy", and finally where the fucking head of the health department is making a list of all autistic and neurodivergent people)
Gee, I wonder where they'll find a new enemy.
Reform or more accurately Far rage. Is hired to draw attention from the real issue. The increase in inequality between rich and everyone else in the UK. (Plus most of the western world)
As a larger and larger amount of income generating assets are moved into the hands of a smaller % of the population. Increases in the cost of everything including those assets is to be expected.
