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.

“Many civil servants have said to me this is great, we really do need to get on, make this change of this technology and this AI, different ways of – not just the service that we are providing to voters, which is hugely important – but the very way we are running government. I do intend to drive through this reform to make sure we are delivering better for the country.”

For fuck's sake! He's barely coherent in his mad scramble to justify running the government on poorly suited LLMs trained on stolen data as a favor to his rich owner donors 🤬

There's plenty of stupid in the statement without resorting to gross exaggeration.
