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! :'(

I’ll be surprised if Labour do anything to challenge anything about MATs and the crooks who run them. Take a look at the “experts” involved in the curriculum review - all pro-academisation and many of them already raking in the cash as either CEOs or advisors to MATs. I think parents would be genuinely shocked if they knew the extent of the (for want of a better word) corruption in education. Like all aspects of governing a modern state, politcians don’t want to actually manage anything and are quite happy to let the grifters do it for them.
