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! :'(

MODERATORS
 
  • UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) faced criticism for suggesting that reduced obesity from the Gaza war could increase life expectancy, a claim condemned by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign as "sickening."
  • Jonathan Turner, UKLFI's chief executive, argued that the Co-operative Group's motion regarding the death toll of 186,000 misrepresents data and overlooks pre-war health issues, including obesity.
  • Critics, including Ben Jamal and Chris Doyle, branded the comments as atrocious and repulsive, highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict and suggesting the statements promote harmful narratives.
