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! :'(

Laughing at a rather dumb joke ain't so bad. Tastless but honestly we can all grin at the odd inappropriate joke.
What is utterly disgusting is failing to comment along the lines. "I am sure that is untrue." Followed by some speal supporting the hard word doctors do.
The former sorta shows he is human. But without the latter it becomes clear evidence. That he dose not respect the staff working for the NHS.
He had an oppertunity to turn his plan into an sales pitch in how it can help GPS and the rest of the NHS. Because lets face it most GP practices are already trying to do it to some extent. With nurses taking over many duties at different levels.
The issue is that while on paper this is far from a bad idea. It is being presented by a PM who has continued to disrespect the BHS staff and the work they do. As has his party from at least the 1980s.
Reminder that Sunak's father was an NHS GP, and his mother a pharmacist who ran her own local pharmacy, so he has a lot of personal knowledge of the strain healthcare was under during much easier times.
