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! :'(

Sunak will be feeling the pressure from this if inflation doesn't actually come down.

id argue Cameron was also piss poor, albeit a much more pragmatic centrist. His decision to allow the brexit kettle to boil is one of the fundamental reasons we are in this utter shitshow; half the labour force has gone, and the local British workers wont work for peanuts hence huge wage inflation. Ok granted not even Cameron could have forseen how bad it is, but thats no consolation when he also slashed the public sector to bits, and they all now absolutely need a pay rise too. Argh
