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! :'(

Look at Brown’s dissolution list for gods’ sake, I haven’t counted exactly but a quick eyeball would seem it had more opposition appointments to Lords than Labour appointments.
Blair didn’t do it because he got caught showing the system up. So actually the last Labour list was issues in… 1976. In fact only two Labour PMs ever have done it, Atlee and Wilson. Whoever at the Downing Street press office who spins their shit really doesn’t want us to look up their claims.
