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.

"Having turned our backs on the European project, we are half the friend to Ukraine that we could be."

And yet at the start of the conflict, we were sending aid to Ukraine, while the EU was dithering about what to do because they'd got too close to Russia.

Yes and that is the point: Britain should be proud to have supported Ukraine early and well. But now it lacks the follow through to think about Ukraine after the war.
