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! :'(

I'm glad the zero-hours policy isn't an outright ban. If an employee prefers being on that, they should not be banned from doing so.

I found this really useful when I went to university. I was able to keep a job that I could go back to around Xmas to earn a bit of money so I didn't need to work during term time

This and the stuff around the 'single status' for workers is genuinely quite difficult. For instance, the Writers' Guild has concerns about how royalties would work under such a status. That's exactly why the government's doing the right thing in having an extensive consultation period.
