UK Politics
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.

i disagree somewhat.
it's certainly a jarring change in narrative, but i think trump will be brought into line by the 'deep state', the donors, the intelligence services, etc.. US foreign policy is a 50 odd year plan. it would monumental task to disentangle US from EU and I can't imagine a world in which the US allows the EU to do what ever what it wants.
Under normal circumstances, yes, but Trump is firing anyone with half a brain cell. This will take decades to fix... assuming the next election is even fair and Congress/Trump get replaced.
