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! :'(

Rebels should have pushed for the policy change internally instead of colluding with an opposition party. Also the suspension is only 6 months so they'll be back soon enough.
Labour does have a process for policies. It is called the National Policy Forum. He ignores it. So your suggestion that you can push internally is false. Kier doesn't tolerate dissent because he's an autocrat.
Labour used to get most funding from unions, it's now less than 30%, so wealthy business folk got control of that.
It's a shame that Kier's labour doesn't have policies that aren't cruel on people.
