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:
The BBC has not seen the new guidelines but a government source said they included plans to ban any children being taught about gender identity.
The National Association of Head Teachers has previously raised concerns the review is "politically motivated", saying there is no evidence to suggest a widespread problem with pupils being presented with age-inappropriate materials.
The review was announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak following concerns that some children were being exposed to "inappropriate content".
The government believes that clearer guidance will provide support for teachers and reassurance for parents.The proposals, which are expected to be announced on Thursday, will set out which topics should be taught to pupils at what age.
Under current guidance, external, it is down to primary schools to decide whether they need to cover any aspect of sex education to meet the needs of their pupils.
Last year more than 50 Conservative MPs wrote to the prime minister claiming children were being "indoctrinated with radical and unevidenced ideologies about sex and gender".Separate guidance published last year stated teachers should inform parents if their child wished to change their gender identity at school.
