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! :'(

This is the party of conpetence (pun intended). As soon as it looked likely this was going into the north, it quickly changed to "we cannot afford this". This has been a storyline that has transcended decades. We are back to Jam tomorrow speeches for the north. There has been no attempt to replace what was lost from the EU. The Tories have very few mates in the north so why spend there.

"We cannot afford this" - if we want to spend money on tax breaks for the rich.
