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! :'(

That's a lot of words to say "the Tories know they're on the way out and they're trying to limit the good Labour can do when they get in, as expected"
Regardless of what you think about Labour and where its policy is currently, this would frankly be more of a story if the Tories weren't taking an opportunity like this to sabotage the incoming government
The Tories basically have to offer a load of unsustainable tax cuts because that's the only carrot they've got in the toolbox for their dwindling support. It's a happy bonus for them that the same unsustainable cuts make things difficult for Labour
Edit: unsustainable, not unattainable
