    Leader of trade union vows to support candidate who’s proven to be in favour of trade unions. More at ten.

      Yes; but this is newsworthy as Mick Lynch also just told people to buck up, eat their veg, and vote Labour. So this is slightly in breaking with the “Starmer or nowt” mentality of those statements.

        Corbyn in Labour without the red rosette. I wonder if they’ll even run a candidate in his constituency.

          There’s no way Labour don’t run a candidate if Corbyn officially runs as an independent.

          The only seats they don’t contest are Northern Irish seats.

          The question is whether they run a weak campaign or a strong one and they’ll probably not run a strong one. They’ll put resources elsewhere.

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.
