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! :'(

Absolutely amazing if this ever happened. Sadly I think this would need a large majority in the commons to get through. Too many "vested interests" will vote against so Labour need to force it through on their own and they can only do that with a majority. Great for headlines though.

As a side note I'm pissing myself at the unintentional sinister paragraph towards the bottom.

The FSB also welcomed Ms Reeves' proposals

Of course it did 😜

Claiming back £7b should be an easy target. Sunak has said they are aiming to retrieve £1.1b of the potential £58.8 lost to the treasury.
