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! :'(

Interesting from a Tory perspective: Sunak's u-turn on net zero will probably be slightly negative overall for the Cosnervative's election prospects.

I increasingly get the feeling that even hardcore Tories are sick of this government! I guess your grandad will still vote for them (mine was much the same) but I doubt there are enough of that kind of guy to get them over the line. Thankfully.

Actually, he's not voting at all. He's abstaining with the view of 'theyre all the same now". Which makes no sense, but it's better than a Tory vote in my mind.

My other grandparents are, oddly enough, labour voters despite being even richer, and even donators from what I last heard. It's a weird place to be in, between both extremes.
