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! :'(

This is Labour's plan to get more children into work?

But it was no problem finding £9bn for a single road tunnel in Kent

For what it's worth, almost all of that is privately funded, and it's also a one-off cost. It's not really the same as ~£35bn spent annually on PIP.

Well duh, Kent isn't as full of fucking poors like anywhere connected to the A1, which is still single fucking carriageway in places.
