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! :'(

Labour has said it has "no plans for a youth mobility scheme" if it wins the general election later this year.

I wish Labour would have a backbone and stand up to the hard left of their voter base and out right reject this Brexit narrative. Sigh.... Not in my lifetime sadly. The two main parties are Brexit parties - one overtly, one covertly.

It would be a step in the right direction but the Tories would salivate at the idea of turning this election into a Brexit election. I suspect we’ve not heard the last of this and we’ll start re-aligning various policies with Europe on a case-by-case basis once the Tories are wandering the political wilderness, it’s the obvious thing for an incoming government to boost their economic credibility.
