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! :'(

That was depressing yet unsurprising. Is there some species of worm that gets into people's brains and transforms them into influencers? Is there a known cure?
Could not disagree more with Farage's politics or dislike him more as a person but actions like this cheapen politics in this country. It makes it look like his opponents are unable to win the argument so need to resort to stunts (despite the fact his previous 8 attempts to enter parliament show that he is not winning the argument).
Also turns out that this woman is an OF content creator so it is basically just a marketing stunt for her.
Cheapen politics? That milkshake was worth more to the country than Farage has ever been. Personally, I would be fine with him getting pelted with any kind of food item every single time he is in public.
The country is run by an Eton boy's club and their corrupt banker mates, only looking to make money for themselves. We need more direct action like this on thise responsible.
What do stunts like this really achieve? Do they prove Farage wrong or show his followers why he’s so problematic? When someone resorts to violence to make a point it devalues everything they are making a stand for. It says “I couldn’t explain what’s wrong with this persons politics so I just threw something at them instead”
"Never wrestle with a Pig. You both get dirty and the Pig likes it."
The Daily Mail has the answer. I've clicked the link so you don't have to.

The woman who hurled a milkshake over Nigel Farage as he launched his campaign to become an MP is a Jeremy Corbyn-supporting OnlyFans model who hails from a family of Brexiteers, MailOnline can reveal.
Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, was arrested by police on suspicion of assault after she drenched the new Reform leader as he stepped out of a Wetherspoons in Clacton, Essex.
Dramatic pictures show how the mother-of-one dodged Mr Farage's burly minders before flinging the contents of a McDonald's cup towards him. It caught him full in the face.
Mr Farage, who previously dubbed Clacton the 'most patriotic' town in Britain, merely wiped his eyes and continued.
Speaking from his home in nearby Jaywick, her Brexit-voting brother Paul told MailOnline: 'I have just seen it, and to be honest, I'm appalled. I don't know where she is. I don't want anything to do with her.'
Despite posting a video on X with the caption 'my milkshake brings all the people to the rally' in reference to the 2003 song Milkshake, Farage admitted it was 'quite frightening'.

Thomas, who is an OnlyFans model with more than 18,100 followers on Instagram, appears to be a Labour supporter, previously pledging her support to Keir Starmer's party

The incident has led to wide condemnation from MPs all across the political spectrum including Labour's Yvette Cooper who called it a 'disgrace' and 'completely unacceptable and wrong'.
But Thomas-Bowen, who films her x-rated video clips in the spare bedroom of her mother's £260,000 house in Grays, told the BBC she flung the banana milkshake because she 'just felt like it'.
'He doesn't stand for me', the self-described 'petite blonde pocket rocket' added. 'He doesn't represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn't represent us, he's not from here.'
She previously voiced her support for Jeremy Corbyn on Facebook and called for Britons to boycott the late Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Last November, the model flew out to Istanbul for a nose job.
She told her subscribers she underwent the procedure to make her nose 'smaller' and 'prettier'.
Posting pictures of her recovery - and showing off the difference before and after - Thomas-Bowen said she loved her new nose 'so much' and was already breathing better.
'My milkshake brings all the people to the rally!' Farage jabs back
Mr Farage was flanked as usual by burly security as he left a pub, but they could do nothing as the women flung the contents of what appeared to be a McDonald's cup towards him
They're was a lot more but I think you get the gist. It was mostly pro farage stuff.
Wow, even when someone makes a political statement against a certified cunt, the focus is on attempting to shame them on the grounds of morality. I didn't expect anything else from the Daily Mail.
it should happen to nigel every day until the election tbh
