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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Also note that the civil service / government departments and arms length bodies (like Kew Gardens, British Library, British Museum, Research Councils, met office, etc) do not have independent pay review bodies and bargin individually for thier pay, has not been mentioned in this. Given this government it is highly likely that it will not, and the civil service will still be at 2009 pay for alot more work. We have not forgotten the being essential for covid ansld then trying to sack 20% of us while cutting severance packages (currently resolved by recent strike action).
