General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Planning reform, improved workers' rights, closing various tax loopholes. Also, he's still going to invest in the green thing, just not necessarily spend £28bn on it.

As to when he's going to drop them, I guess it depends what Streeting and Reeves get a bee in their bonnet about next, as they seem to be calling the shots.

You mean the one a senior Labour MP recently said was going to be scrapped?

Am I sensing cracks in your Keir-Labour romance?

No one said it was going to be scrapped. As usual, your understanding of what's going on goes as deep as the headline. I suggest reading the rest of the article, in future.
