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! :'(

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senior members of Green Party Women (GPW) claim the group was "disaffiliated" because of their promotion of "gender-critical views".
The party's official position is that it supports transgender people and backs making it easier to change legal sex via self-determination.
The BBC has seen documents that show the Green Party disaffiliated the GPW for failing to run its planned Autumn 2021 committee election until January 2022.
Zoe Hatch, the GPW's most recently elected co-chair who is currently suspended from the party, described the decision as a "convenient way for the ruling bodies to shut down the women's group".
Emma Bateman, a former co-chair of GPW who was briefly expelled from the party, said the disaffiliation was to "demonstrate that women stepping out of line will be punished".
The party also supports making it easier for trans people to change their legal status without the need for a Gender Reassignment Certificate (GRC).
