Robust debate is encouraged, angry arguments are not. This sub is for people with a wide variety of views, and as such you will come across content, views and people you don't agree with. Political views from a wide spectrum are tolerated here. Persistent engagement in antagonistic, uncivil or abusive behavior will result in action being taken against your account.

[R2] Not UK Politics

Anything not specifically concerning politics in the UK or geopolitics involving the UK.

[R3] Editoralised title

Submission titles should use the headline of the article being submitted, and should be changed only where it improves clarity or is absolutely necessary.

[R4] Article age

News articles older than 28 days may be removed.

[R7] Twitter policy

Tweets are acceptable, so long as they are from journalists, pollsters, politicians and so forth. Tweets from random members of the public are not.

Twitter posts which do not contribute substance or contain reactionary commentary regardless of author will generally be removed as "hot takes"

[R8] Self-promotion policy

Submitting your own content is perfectly fine, but make it clear that it's your own content and read the site wide guidance on self promotion written by the admins.

[R9] Campaigning, fundraising, petitions, etc

Campaigning, fundraising, activism, e-begging and links to petitions will be removed.

[R10] Self-post policy

Self posts should be used as an invitation to discussion, not an opportunity to soapbox, tub-thump or showboat.

[R11] Meme posts/shitposting

No meme posts, no shitposts.

[R14] User flair policy

Flairs should not contain links or abuse/insults. User flair that contains either will be deleted without warning, repeat offenders will be banned.

[R15a] Top level low effort comment, personal attacks, drama from other subreddits

Comments and submissions that contribute nothing more than personal insults or group based attacks will be removed, along with low effort top level replies to submissions. Persistent harassment targeted at other subreddit users will result in the accounts involved being banned.

[R15b] Low-effort complaining about sources

Low-effort complaining about sources you disagree with, insulting the publication or trying to shame users for posting sources you disagree with is not acceptable. Either address the post in question, or ignore it.

[R16] Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, other hateful language

If you see racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or other hateful comments, please report them. Taking issue with immigration or refugee policy is not automatically racist.

[R21] Inciting violence or threatening behaviour

Comments or submissions which call for/incite violence or threaten direct-action against political figures, journalists, commentators and media personalities in a way that constitutes illegal harassment or intimidation may result in a permanent ban and may be reported to the authorities.
