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.
A Labour Party spokesperson said: "It is incredibly frustrating that the bins dispute has not yet been resolved. Unite could and should end the strikes."
Lmao these absolute fucking lunatics. "Its incredibly frustrating that this conflict is still ongoing, they should just surrender already and let us win"
Quick reminder that Graham was elected by 3% of Unite membership - 37% of a 10% turnout.
37% is higher than what Starmer was elected on....
Not sure what this has to do with Starmer given the dispute is with Birmingham Council, but regardless, turnout in both the labour leadership election and the GE was considerably higher than 10%.
