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! :'(

The Guardian says: "Foreign secretary’s speech comes as UK continues to tread fine diplomatic line between supporting Ukraine and not offending Trump"

Maybe the UK should just offend Trump

Personally the way I think this should be handled is the way I handle my idiot boss.

I don't go out of the way to annoy him but ultimately he's a moron and I'm not going to do illegal things just because he wants me to. So we continue to support Ukraine but don't explicitly call Trump out on anything.
