General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

It's great news for agency workers pushed into these schemes unwittingly or otherwise.

I'm not seeing anything about closing the tax loopholes that matter the most though, the ones that allow Amazon et al to redirect profit to an offshore company and thus hide how much tax they owe.

In fact, Labour have mooted the idea of cutting the digital services tax designed to target these companies specifically. So yeah, not celebrating anything considering who they're shafting to fund the aforementioned.
