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! :'(

Hopefully this meets reputable news source requirements, as Declassified UK is a well known investigative news group with a heavy focus on political UK corruption.
I've linked to them before and my interpretation of 'reputable news source' is one that at least tries to be reliable. So as long as they don't publish outright disinformation, stuff like the Daily Mail or the Grayzone, then you should be fine. I trust Wikipedia's Reliable sources page for stuff like this.
This group is probably better, but I've had some weird removals over at [email protected]. Like, the other day I posted an article about China's banks cracking down on any loans being given to Russian companies. And the article was in the business newspaper Vedomosti and the mods removed it for being a "questionable source" and never replied when I asked them why.
