UK Politics
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! :'(

No mention of anything related to reducing reliance on cars and investing in public transport and micro mobility or something of the sort? A major area of climate goals completely missing.
Yeah, it is kind of disappointing to see all the pro-car stuff. In the section on Transport, they do mention trains and buses, too, but I'm not sure cycling comes up at all. Obviously they're trying to counter the dumb Tory anti-ULEZ stuff, but it'd be nice to see something that wasn't a defensive crouch sometimes.
