    So to be clear… A Jeremy Hunt is being charged, but not the Jeremy Hunt?

        And what’s the collective noun for multiple Jeremy Hunts?

        No idea, we would have to go on a Hunt hunt to find out!

    It’s kind of insane that they’ve managed to prove that 15 people used insider information to place bets themselves.

    I wonder how many more shared information with family or friends who then placed bets.

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! :'(
