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.

The highly-anticipated Gorton and Denton by-election saw the Green party emerge victorious despite being branded by Labour as “extreme and dangerous”. For some, the result has called into question the ruling party’s attacks on the Greens’ policy to decriminalise all drugs.

We're at the point where Labour is using ads I'd expect to see in countries like Hungary or from Reform or the GOP?

I know I might not consume the most balanced news nowadays (I try to keep my despair and doom levels low) but damn, Labour does seem to sink lower on the regular in ways I don't expect.
