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! :'(

Labour MP Katie White hosted Sir David Attenborough in parliament for a private screening for his new film Ocean. Keir Starmer and a bunch of other big names were there too. (www.linkedin.com)

Lmao at David Campbell, City of Bradford MDC Biodiversity Officer's comment, stealing her thunder right at the top:

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill very much sits in the space Attenborough was aiming at when he said "We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist."

The reason Attenborough et al are screening it for these politicians is because they're doing things wrong.
