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.

“Legal advice is for the prime minister, and I think that’s where it will stay – and you can understand why I won’t comment on that. But what I will say is that we have a prime minister who is a lawyer and a human rights lawyer, he will obviously do everything that is in accord with international law,” she told Times Radio.

Hahaha, obviously the Palestinians aren't human other wise the human rights lawyer wouldn't be supporting their genocide.

Starmer will do whatever is expected of him by the Labour friends of Israel.

He is a puppet. Nothing more.

Traditionally we’re supposed to manufacture a pretext so the yanks can start bombing. Guess we’re skipping the boring legalese bit now.

Midway through a bank robbery when one of the gang pulls off his balaclava and says "guys, I think this might be illegal!".
