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! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
But the DUP is refusing to return until Prime Minister Rishi Sunak addresses its concerns about the Windsor Framework, which sets out new trade rules for Northern Ireland.
Speaking on Friday morning, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar said there was chance to restore power-sharing at Stormont, having been briefed by Mr Sunak about the talks.
A US trade delegation is due to visit Northern Ireland this month, led by US Special Envoy Joe Kennedy, and it is expected that they will discuss the Stormont crisis with politicians.
A funding shortfall for the Department of Education has led to the end of schemes for disadvantaged children and has even left Northern Ireland's libraries without enough money to buy new books.
An independent report recently warned that "short-sighted cuts" risked creating longer-term problems for children, which would increase demand for public services in the future.
Northern Ireland's hospital waiting lists are the worst in the UK, while cuts to funding have left charities and voluntary groups that provide frontline health services "on the brink of collapse".
