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 the best summary I could come up with:

The Welsh government has committed to introducing legislation before 2026, which would mean Senedd members could be removed for knowingly misleading statements.

"The Welsh government will bring forward legislation before 2026 for the disqualification of members and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception through an independent judicial process, and will invite the committee to make proposals to that effect," he told the Senedd on Tuesday evening.

Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price put forward the party's own version of the proposal earlier on Tuesday.

Conservative James Davies said it had "the potential to undermine our parliamentary privilege" - comments echoed by Labour's Hefin David.

Jane Dodds, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, said the principle of "safeguarding" democracy had her "unwavering support".
