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:
Launching a new campaign poster on Friday, Labour's shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves made a claim about how much tax people will be paying this year.
"Working people are worse off under the Tories - £1,200 for an average family extra tax this year because of choices by Rishi Sunak and this Conservative government."
Labour confirmed that the £1,200 figure came from research by the Resolution Foundation, focusing on living standards.
This is based on the November predictions by the Office for Budget Responsibility, which makes forecasts for the government:
For an employee on average full-time earnings of about £35,000, the two factors roughly cancel each other out this year, according to the independent economic think-tank, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke about tax cuts in an interview on Friday.
