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! :'(

Didn't Rishi try and get the EU to impose a 15% minimum global corporate tax rate for companies? How has that gone with Ireland dragging it's feet on that? I can't see this proposal going anywhere.

We don't have a "separation of church and state", there are literally 26 bishops in the house of lords!

Sorry, I meant in the US. We are supposed to have separation of church and state, but it has really become necessary to have a “separation of corporations and state” as well. The corporations are so deeply involved in politics, writing laws, financing government elections, etc that they may as well BE their own branch of the government.
