General Discussion for politics in the UK.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.

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.

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.

That’s the story now; it was different in the morning.

The morning article included:

“He added: “The moment the education secretary has heard about any problem in a school, any risk to children, she has acted.

“And we have 22,000 schools in the country and there has been since that incident a huge programme going through this Raac/asbestos issue because we want to be absolutely sure that every child is safe.

“And we have then made sure as soon as we have information of any risk that something is done to mitigate that risk.”

Hunt, who later told the BBC that the government would “spend what it takes to sort out this problem as quickly as possible”, denied the problem could cause a repeat of lockdown-style teaching, where substantial numbers of children missed out on attending classes for long periods of time.”

A day is a long time in politics.

Well at least Hunt is showing the same level of numeracy as his recent predecessors.

Christ alive.
