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! :'(

As the saying goes "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story" but:
-Gilt yields are through the roof
-Job report was hotter than expected
-Wages grew at 7.2%
And we're now definitely in a wage price spiral according to Bailey along with slow growth.
Classic 70's style stagflation
The only silver lining is that it seems the Tories won't be saved at the next election by inflation dropping like a stone like they hoped
Tories are dead in the water, and Fishy Rishi is well primed to take the fall - not that he will mind a bit of scapegoating, he will sit back with his billions and go on to be a Tory Blair or whatever.
The rest of us are wrll fucked though
