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! :'(

Nope,

OBR says 4% of productivity, not GDP, over 15 years. Please show me a chart that shows GDP down by 4% per year. We'd be absolutely fucked if so.

Trade of what is down 15%? Source?

EU offered the UK a visa scheme for musicians, so that's all on the Tories

Yep, there's delays at every EU border, they've been promising a digital customs window since the 1990's...but the UK has caused its own issues there, fair dos

Tories not keeping promises to Wales is not down to brexit, it's down to the Tories.

All science funding has continued, it has just come out of UK govt pocket not EU...

It's not about thinking, it's about facts.

Here's UK EU trade since 1999, goods and services are at all time highs
