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've just switched over to watch Sky News' feed on YouTube. The allow chat, which for a serious news organisation is absolutely wild to me.

And the chatters are absolutely insane. Not in a good way. There's no attempt to discuss anything, just people spamming "πŸ’™πŸ’™ REFORM IS RISING πŸ’™πŸ’™" and "πŸŸ₯πŸŸ₯ Labour Forever πŸŸ₯πŸŸ₯πŸŸ₯πŸŸ₯". And weirdest of all, many variations on "netherite helmet trim".

Wtf does netherite helmet trim mean?

Reform have an online army that swarms comment threads. Not sure how many of them are based in Russia.
