UK Politics
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.

George Orwell would have had a field day with Sir Kid Starver’s rhetoric around this.
“Starving disabled people is a moral imperative”
My god, what have you become, Labour.
Tories.
The tories didn’t even seriously try decimating PIP in their decade+ in power.
To disabled people, Labour are looking worse than Tories.
PIP was created by the Tories in 2010 entirely as an austrrity attempt to decimate DLA by removing working age claimants. And making it harder to claim.
It also resulted in 10 years of Tories losing court cases were a huge % of us claiming we're forced to take DWP to court over refusals. And won.
The Tories literally gave the task to private companies and financially advantaged them to reject claimants. Resulting in out right lies on huge numbers of investigation being submitted to DWP. While leading directly to 100s of disabled people commuting suicide. And the DWP hiding the reports proving this for a decade.
Labour is just trying a new method of what the Tories failed.
Heck they are even openly comparing to the highest tory rejection years Vs years were we won court cases years later. As the main dates for their claims the numbers have gone up.
Did you some how fail to read any news over the last 15 years?
