We don't just talk about Greggs on this sub.
The largest UK left discussion board online for news, politics and memes. Home for all British socialists, communists and anarchists. The international left are also welcome.

You are not entitled to post or comment on this subreddit. Please read the rules carefully and follow them.
1. No Tory or reactionary sentiments
Posting racism, classism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, anti-semitism, anti-Romani sentiment, harassment, violence or religious intolerance will earn an immediate and permanent ban, as will any support for figures who promote these ideologies. This rule includes minimising or excusing hate speech/violence towards marginalised groups. References to hate speech should be pre-faced with a content warning and be censored with *'s.
2. Right wing hate-rags
Links to right-wing hate rags and news sites such as The Daily Mail, Telegraph, Daily Express, The Times, the Sun, BBC and Jewish Chronicle are subject to immediate removal. If you want to discuss a story from one, please either do so with a screenshot, copy and paste the article into a text post or use https://archive.org/, https://archive.ph/ or a similar site.
3. Left Unity
Left unity is enforced here. This subreddit's goal is to unite the British left. Good faith discussion/disagreement over theory and its implementation is fine. Attack the argument, not the tendency. 'Leftist' includes anarcho-communists, mutualists, Marxists, Leninists, Maoists and democratic socialists. People who are pro-capitalist such as social democrats, liberals, Blairites, Starmerites etc. do not count as left and are not protected by this rule.
4. Good faith engagement
Engage with your fellow users in good faith during any and all discussions on the subreddit. Concern trolling, sea-lioning and other behaviours of this type constitute bad faith engagement. This is what wreckers do, wreckers get banned. Don't be a wrecker.
5. No Tory concern trolling
No "legitimate concerns" or "genuine questions" designed to push a right-wing agenda. This includes concern trolling on behalf of Red Tory (Labour Party) talking points. This rule also covers all attempts to push monarchist/royalist, pro-imperialist, pro-police, pro-landlord and pro-capitalist rhetoric.
We often have right-wingers in here attempting to push their own agendas with seemingly mundane comments and questions. Right-wingers sincerely looking to educate themselves are permitted, as long as they remain respectful of the space and engage in good faith. Obvious attempts by right-wingers to troll or interfere in this community will result in permanent bans with no chance of repeal.
5a. No Red Tory Concern Trolling
See above. Shouldn't need to be specified specifically but Red Tory supporters are dumb, what can I say.
6. Inciting violence, harassment and other breaches of Reddit's rules
- Please don't spread misinformation (without critique or irony)
- Please don't ping users from linked threads or Reddit screenshots.
- Please don't advocate for violence (even jokingly).
- Please don't participate in linked reddit posts/harass crossposted subreddits
- Please don't link to piracy websites - Just direct people to r/piracy
- Please censor usernames when posting reddit screenshots
7. No brigading
Please don't use our leftist community to feud with other users or subreddits, even right-wing ones. Brigading to other subreddits is not allowed and is against the Reddit TOS. If you see something on another subreddit that you'd like to highlight here, please screenshot it and remove the details of the user and the subreddit before you repost here.
8. Paywalls
Only post pay-walled links if no other are available. If possible include a screenshot of the article. Non-paywalled links will always be prioritised.
9. Article titles
Submission titles for articles must clearly and accurately describe the content. Supplementary information can be added to newspaper article titles as long as it is not misleading. Do not use ALL CAPS in submission titles. Exceptions can be made for satire/humorous image submissions.
If you see anyone violating these rules, please use the report button.

PIP decision maker for the DWP using ableist language on social media l. Should I report him?
Hi, this has caused me a lot of concern. A guy who friended me on Facebook works as a decision maker for DLA/PIP assessments for the DWP. On his social he has referred to people as R*tards. Which is concerning considering his occupation. Is this something that should be brought to the attention of his employer? It’s not the first time he has posted things of a similar nature either. This caused me concern because if he uses language like this so casually on social media, imagine what he is like when he is in a position of power with vulnerable people’s source of income.

Should undercover police officers who father children as part of their cover persona be forced to pay child support ?
Some horrific stories emerging in press in recent times and its obvious that the basis of some folks lives have been upended and shredded.
Where the women were abandoned should they be paid the child support denied to them , particularly as it seems the men involved skilfully and intentionally avoided registering their fatherhood responsibilities.
Are the children of these relationships entitled in law as beneficiaries to assets of their father on a par with the children these officers may father later in their non work lives , and as such entitled to challenge wills if they were intentionally left off.

Brother says he's going to join the Army.
After years of telling my brother about the horrific imperialism and genocides waged by the British Army upon oppressed people around the world, he says he still wants to join and is going ahead with his application.
I feel mortified.
I can't count how many conversations I've had with him about this, how many times I've told him about the capitalist nature of the armed forces and how they seek to preserve the power of the bourgeoisie through imperialist violence.
I just feel so empty. I don't know what else I could've said to him. I feel like I'm losing my brother.
