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.

It's more about the fact that he's prepared to go along with it to further his own aspirations then he's necessarily into it himself. Not that that's much of a improvement.
Throwing other people under the bus for his own betterment is 100% on brand for him. Is absolutely able to turn a blind eye to the most appalling abuse if he thinks it'll further his objectives. It's the same reason people think he took Russian money, because obviously the Russians would have approached him and he's incredibly selfish and greedy so he would have taken the money if offered.
