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

Where is that data from? I'd be surprised if the US wasn't worse when considering health insurance, car reliance, etc.

This is just one indicator.
Yeah US hates its poors too but we have decent economic performance over the period since Brexit while UK essentially stagnated outside of london. Housing cost v wage is also worst but Canada and AU are leaders there.
How does this highlight homelessness outside of London?
What the fuck are you even talking about? Yes, Brexshit SLOWED down UK growth but the economy is nowhere near stagnating since 2016 (or 2020 if you prefer). You don't have a clue.

Now try to read and understand what you are reading.
UK economy would have been bigger if not Brexshit. But it is by no means stagnating - it is growing, just slower it would have done otherwise.
