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! :'(

Good to hear, given the trajectory of other Western countries it's nice to see Starmer not underplaying the action needed.
Carbon capture really is going to be this government's white elephant, isn't it.
I'm sceptical, but I think that as long as carbon capture happens alongside shutting down fossil fuels, it's at least worth a try.
Too many places treat CCAS as plan A, but it does make sense doing it in the background as a plan B.
It does worry me though, that everyone is just going to go "eh, we'll just capture it in 20 years".
