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.

What part of this is the "UK government"?

The GMC was pressured by the Health Secretary, a weasel named Wes Streeting, to retry the doctor who was previously found to have no case to answer.

GMC Tribunal threw the case out. As it says, the complaint was made by “UK Lawyers for Israel” who are the ones who lost their lawfare case, not UK Government.

Wes Streeting is a weasel, though, and the UK Lawyers for Israel could for once do something value adding and fuck off, the further the better.

That's who threw out the complaint, they certainly aren't the ones who "lost" the case

Where did I say they lost? I was explaining why this was related to the government.

OP's title says "UK government loses another case"

[–] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

GMC is an independent organisation regulating doctors. The case was thrown out by them.

UK gov wasn't involved. UK Lawyers for Israel lost.
