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! :'(

Former home secretary Dame Priti Patel has said it is "time to put unity before personal vendetta" as she threw her hat into the ring for the Tory party leadership.

Entering the increasingly crowded field to replace Rishi Sunak, the senior Conservative MP laid the blame for their worst-ever defeat on 4 July not on the "heroic" party members, but the politicians who "fell out and left us short".

Dame Priti is the fifth candidate but the first woman to formally announce she is joining the race for the top job, with Mel Stride, Tom Tugendhat, James Cleverly and Robert Jenrick already having declared.

At least Tory MPs will be easier to unite now, given that there's fuck all of them
