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! :'(

Blairite business as usual is actually winning elections and getting a chance to reject reforms

I'm not sure if "reject" was a typo, but it seems accurate.

Blairism is what gave us disastrous PFIs in the NHS.

Oh lord how embarrassing. Hahaha. It was a typo. Enact. Enact is what I was going for.

True PFI was half baked implementation wise. But the other reforms Blair's government made have had lasting impacts and have stood the tests of time. We wouldn't want to be without those.
