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! :'(

Tories continuing with the scorched earth policy. This will push costs onto Labour when they come into power. Or criticism when they have to reverse this.

There is no appreciation of facilities to either remove or process this new waste segmentation. There is no budget being allocated to the plan as is indicated by the term "reasonable funding". It very much looks like we are going to see nothing but a gremlin approach to improving the state of the UK until these people are resigned to history.

But this is to take power away from councils. Tories hate local government so do everything to centralise
