Not sure if you guys are familiar with this or not, but there is a great mailing list that lays out what votes are happening in Parliament every week. It's a great resource so check it out.

Clear the Lobby
by Sebastian Salek

Hey team.

MPs focus on Estimates Day debates.

This is where the Commons scrutinises spending by government departments.

Topics include spending on prisons, energy infrastructure, and further education.

Meanwhile, the Illegal Migration Bill is in the Lords.

Peers have already defeated the government on it four times, and could likely add to that number this week.

Elsewhere, the government cracks down on boycotts against Israel.

The new bill will stop public bodies - including councils - from boycotting any foreign country because they disagree with their politics.

Until next week. In the meantime, feel free to tweet me.

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! :'(
