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! :'(

Does anyone else have a viable plan to pay for our social services? This bill has been watered down to the point where it is not saving the public purse anything while the welfare bill continues to grow unsustainably.
I'm worried Labour are going to continue floundering and in-fighting until the next GE and then Reform will come in and make cuts that are a magnitude larger than what Reeves/the Treasury had been proposing here.
Rachel's fiscal hole keeps getting bigger now Starmer's going to push her into it.
It's our collective fiscal hole unfortunately and the markets are reacting badly to Starmer implying he might replace her.
