More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Big win for the Unions, and for our collective rights to organise here.

My comment is what the judge said as the reason.

But the unions, which represent around three million workers, argued that the government had breached their rights by failing to consult them on the changes.

On Thursday, Judge Thomas Linden upheld their challenge in a written ruling, quashing the regulations.

He said Mr Kwarteng had made his decision to change the rules based on "precious little information", relying instead on a 2015 consultation which predated Covid and the cost-of-living crisis.

That was the reason behind the ruling. Not what the Union guy talks seemingly afterwards outside the court.
