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.

I agree but there will be limits on how much additional borrowing and spending markets will be ok with.
It means that spend has to be on the biggest issues and things most likely to help the economy.
I want to say fuck the markets, but that doesn't work out so well. The reality is though, unless we invest heavily in things like health, education, heat pumps, solar panels, wind, artificial intelligence and robotics, then there's no hope for this country. So we really need to be firm and at least give the markets food for thought.
