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 haven't seen anyone mention this, but Harris' framing of 'prosecutor vs. criminal' is pretty similar to Starmer's pitch, particularly when he was still up against Johnson. So, I'd hope the exchange of ideas could go both ways!

Hopefully she doesn't take advice from them on cutting services and being transphobic.

I'm not sure they're the best people to listen to, they had a much easier political situation, did not make the most out of it, and are governing as tory-with-a-hug.

I'm hoping Walz can talk her out of that, at least on the trans stuff.

I'm so happy with Walz so far.

What advice could Jonathan Ashworth give? The guy lost his seat to a pro-Gaza independent, hardly the guy I'd want if I had a change of losing Michigan because of my administration's policy on Gaza.
