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! :'(

What nobody is talking about is the fact that they've specifically chosen £38,000 as the wage cut-off because that'll exclude nurses who make a maximum of £34,500.
This is the Tories attempt to both reduce immigration and finally kill the NHS as they physically can't get the people in and thousands of currently working nurses get sent back home.
The second human rights get repealed I am out of this fucking shithole of an island. I don't care if I have to go to dover and nab a dinghy from some recently arrived migrants and claim political refugee status in Spain.
Healthcare roles are exempt.
The tories are shit enough, we don't have to make stuff up. I'm sure they're up to other shenanigans re the NHS but this isn't it.
Imo what their game now is all about, is filling their pockets & causing as much damage as possible on the way out to make life difficult for thr next government.
Are you sure NHS roles are included in this? Can you point to your source from that please. Thanks 🙏.
I'd love to see this backfire with all the skilled workers in the public sector demand a pay rise to that level because they have set a value to it 😂
