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.

We are friends with [email protected], a uk news community on a more general site.

OBR says 4% of productivity, not GDP, over 15 years. Please show me a chart that shows GDP down by 4% per year. We'd be absolutely fucked if so.

Trade of what is down 15%? Source?

EU offered the UK a visa scheme for musicians, so that's all on the Tories

Yep, there's delays at every EU border, they've been promising a digital customs window since the 1990's...but the UK has caused its own issues there, fair dos

Tories not keeping promises to Wales is not down to brexit, it's down to the Tories.

All science funding has continued, it has just come out of UK govt pocket not EU...
