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! :'(
Universal credit has been a shambles from start to finish, almost as if cruelty and weakening the welfare state were prioritised by the tories over actual welfare
Is there any evidence this disproportionately affects women (which is what I inferred from the headline, although that may not have been their intent), because I couldn't find any data on that in the article, or is it just focusing on women because WinVisible (women's charity) are the ones bringing it up?
