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.

Over the last 24 hours, a number of false and defamatory statements have been published about me concerning the launch of Your Party’s membership portal.

The portal was properly launched in accordance with the party’s roadmap.

At no point was members’ data misused or put at risk.

All funds received from members were ringfenced and protected in the appropriate manner.

These baseless attacks on my character are politically-motivated and I intend to hold to account those responsible for making them.

To that end, I have this evening instructed specialist defamation lawyers.

To avoid prejudicing or complicating any future legal process, I will not be making any further comment about this matter at this time.

Well as most of her claims, do not match the other MPs accusations against her. That court case is just waisting more time.

The Other MPs have been very careful in their wording. Just suggesting that the membership portal was unauthorised. And that the one named individual had no access to accounts.

Any other accusations have come from members confused/angry about the breakdown. And genral public.

According to her own claim 20000 plus people joined the party without knowing she was working alone. She has openly admitted she started the portal independently of other founders etc.

Her accusations that membership control was being diluted by people connected to the other camp. If true. Is important. As all the donations and membership fees were paid based on promises of complete member control.

But ATM both side are just threatening to slow down any resolution with court cases. If either side truly cares about member control. Both need to step back. And accept 20000 plus members now have that duty to build that control.
