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! :'(

The article concerned is here.

This is not my Youtube channel.

I am very much anti-CPTPP. I do not trust Tories.

I am no legal expert, but there are some things said to be written into the agreement which leaves a lot to be desired. Our NHS may have our purchasing power reduced is one of the worst I have seen listed. And as Max points out where was the option to vote on this?

0.08% of UK GDP over the next decade, according to Badenoch but "only if we use it".

Austerity's over, boys! By 2030 we'll all have servants and be driving around in diamond-finished cars counting our millions. All of us.

The people managing this country are screwing us big time!

30 years ago, you could look at France, Germany and Italy and approximate that they were just as wealthy as one another. Today, Italy is markedly poorer.

That is the direction the UK is headed in, and I don't see any sign of us changing course.

I think we're already a very poor country. Lots of poor and a minority extremely wealthy who pedal the lie that UK is rich country. I think the next decade will be increased transfer of wealth to the already excessively rich.
