I’m sure you all know this already but it’s now official.

The fourth person ever to lead Labour to a majority. The first person since 1970 to win a majority and overturn a majority at the same time.

Very pleased that we’re getting an improvement on the Tories. Starmer isn’t radical enough for me personally, but I’m going to hold my judgment to see what he does. Would like to see some major reforms to universal credit, more house building, more green policies, etc.

Don’t know about the first, but the second two are definitely part of their plans. Fingers crossed the plans translate into reality!

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
