UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is a massive unforced error by the Labour party. If the process was finished months ago, which it sounds like it was, why not get all of this out of the way sometime when you're not running a GE campaign?
Rayner was innocent. Why shouldn't she carry on as normal?
Abbott, by contrast, admitted she was in the wrong. That much isn't in question. The questions are whether the process was fair and the punishment appropriate, and whether now was a good time to finally go public with the results of an investigation that apparently concluded months ago.
