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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

A study reveals that UK firms exported thousands of military items to Israel, including munitions, despite a suspension of key arms export licences in September.
Concerns have been raised over potential breaches regarding F-35 component sales to Israel, with calls for a full investigation into whether the government misled Parliament about the nature of arms supplied.
The report indicates a significant volume of military shipments from the UK to Israel has continued since the ban, contradicting assurances that remaining export licences only covered non-offensive items.

I will not vote Labour while Keir Starmer and the Labour friends of genocide are in charge.

They are sending weapons and running intelligence flights out of Cyprus to help the Zios with their kill lists

They arrest journalists and activists under Terror legislation to silence dissent.

They are monsters.
