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.

Reform voters should self-immolate.
Maybe tou should read the article and understand why people are drawn to Reform. Starmer is just trying to be Farage light, so it's no wonder nobody likes him.
Closer to Alexander than Farage.
An authoritarian bootlicking shitbag as opposed to a racist, opportunist prick.
Though I suppose there's some overlap.
The article literally talks about how Starmer's attempta at courting racists is backfiring on him
Yes, but I don't think it's because he's angling for a social group that's into doing a bunch of hate crimes.
It's much more likely he's doing it for political reasons.
I could be very wrong however.
