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.

Jeremy Corbyn has agreed to be interviewed under caution by police following a pro-Palestinian rally in central London, Sky News understands.

The former Labour leader, 75, voluntarily attended a police station in the capital this afternoon.

The BBC has reported that John McDonnell, 73, who was the shadow chancellor during Mr Corbyn's leadership, also agreed to be voluntarily interviewed.

Sky News saw the pair leaving Charing Cross Police station this afternoon. They declined to comment when approached.

Nine other people have been charged with public order offences following arrests at the protest organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) on Saturday.

The Metropolitan Police said they witnessed a "deliberate effort, including by protest organisers" to breach conditions that had been imposed on the event.

This has been denied by the PSC, who have accused the Met of heavy-handed tactics.
