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.

yes, but is there anyone left in labour who would make a decent leader? Richard Burgon is the only one I can think of and he's made no indication that he wants the job.
Darren Jones is the only one I really trust these days, he seems to be honest and able to communicate effectively.
The bar is so low, yet so many politicians manage to limbo under it.
He communicates very well, but I don't see him as a leader.
