UK Politics
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! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The country will be "rewarded" with tax cuts if the government is able to make it harder for people to claim out of work and sick benefits, according to the prime minister.
Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, the prime minister sought to create a clear contrast between the Conservatives and Labour as campaigning begins.
While Mr Sunak insisted his priority is cutting taxes, he claimed that they would continue to rise if Sir Keir Starmer enters Downing Street.
The PM pointed to his recently announced cut to national insurance - which came into force yesterday - as evidence of the progress his government has made.
Elsewhere in the interview, the prime minister claimed Labour "doesn't care" about reducing the number of small boats crossing the Channel.
Speaking to Sky News on Sunday morning, Sir Keir was unable to say which taxes he wants to cut - but instead wants to focus on those which impact upon "working people".
