UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

Public control, not ownership. So not nationalised. ...and what exactly does "control" mean? Overall control? Partial control? A small restriction on price rises?
We already have mechanisms of public control. Ofwat for water and Ofgem for electricity. The government don't use them.
It's a pointless and meaningless position.
Yet another labour politician that just wants to mess around at the edges of things, because they don't see the fundamental problems.
