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! :'(

They're not going to get 35%, it's ridiculous.
Where would the money come from? If they managed to find it, it would also fuel inflation, which is worse for all of us.
Would it? Public sector wages (and doctors in particular) already lag far behind inflation. They’re not the ones fuelling any of this.
Let the billionaires who have profited off the workers for decades foot the bill. Stop making excuses for this behaviour and stand by your working class brethren. Unless you’re a billionaire, then feel free to cough up.
Not this class war crap.
It's the pay rises of the rich that are currently fueling inflation.
