General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.
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.
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.
We are friends with [email protected], a uk news community on a more general site.

popbitch is, for me, on par with Private Eye. This is how they reported the story….
We have been contacted by George Osborne and Thea Rogers’ lawyers who inform us that ‘The Email’ alluded to in this story is “full of false information” and subject to a legal complaint and police investigation.
Pointing out – as we did – that most of London’s media and much of Westminster had been sent an extraordinary/unprintable email is perfectly accurate and in no way suggests that we endorse the actual contents of the email.
We stand by what we wrote – but while the investigation proceeds we have agreed to not encourage any further speculation. We would also encourage any readers who have a copy not to share it or try to publish it. If you want an almighty headache, there more fun ways to get one.
...dear god man. I mean, it's great at what it does, but comparable to the Eye? No. Just... no XD
This, though, may as well be a straight-up admission of truth.
