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! :'(
Sunak didn't renegotiate anything though. He just accepted that the deal they had agreed to with Johnson should be accepted.
Labour are talking about actually making Brexit softer for the UK by using closer ties to the EU and EU laws. We have had Tory drivel for years telling us they want to get rid of those laws.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rishi Sunak's Brexit deal renegotiation can pave the way for Labour to agree closer EU ties if it wins power, a shadow minister has said.
Labour has ruled out re-joining the EU single market or customs union, but says it wants a closer economic relationship with the bloc if it wins the next general election, expected next year.
That agreement is due to be reviewed in 2026, and Labour's lead in opinion polls has led to increased scrutiny of the relationship it would seek if it forms the next government.
In May, as a backbencher, he co-wrote a report recommending closer ties in a number of areas, including a visa waiver for performers and alignment on rules for manufactured products.
Labour MP Stella Creasy, who chairs a party group that pushes for stronger ties with Europe, told the event that reversing Brexit would be "impossible".
She said she wanted to see the party pursue "as much direct access to the single market as possible," adding that it should be "ruthlessly focused" on reducing costs for consumers and easing red tape for businesses.
