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! :'(

The CAP is an environmental disaster. The UK has now created its own agriculture policy that does not subsidise production. This was not possible whilst in the EU.
So I suppose what you are saying is, now that the cost of food production has increased that's made investments in these things more viable? Kind of sounds like some significant downsides for the other part of that equation. Not quite a Brexit benefit for the rest of us, just those in a specific VC funded R+D company.
I also think... those investments could have still happened in the EU tbh, could and maybe should have been government funded research anyway, considering there is at least one large vertical farm company in Germany.
Not really buying that as a benefit myself, but at least it is arguable!
