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! :'(

I thought this was a hoax the first time I saw this story. But apparently not. The man is becoming a parody of himself.

Starmer is a proven lawyer.

I think that's unfair to lawyers, and too fair to Starmer. Man's a bare-faced liar.

It's an old line by the late Peter Cook uttered during one of Private Eye's many libel trials.

You can never be too unfair to lawyers. I note that Shakespeare agrees with me on this one:

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

Still too kind to Starmer.
