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! :'(

Without wanting to reopen the bile discussion that Brexit usually brings, it's refreshing to hear a more sensible tone being struck about our relationship with the bloc. Less time spent grandstanding and more time spent agreeing better solutions is the way forward.

He also said he was "very interested" in talking to EU countries about new rules to reverse plummeting school trips since Brexit, and was looking to see "what more can be done" to ease touring rules for professional musicians.

I know the best answer is to rejoin but quite simply neither Labour nor the Conservatives are up for that. So we need to be realistic and reach as best possible solution as we can in the interim.

Maybe we need to stop voting for Labour and the Tories? Dunno, just a thought 🤔.

All I can add to this discussion as a filthy EU citizen is to say: Thank you for being the cautionary example.

Seriously, even the most unhinged right wing populists in Europe won't touch leaving the EU. It's killed off that reactionary idea for good.
