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! :'(

This will because Labour has so many other open goals to increase treasury funds from. You can only win one fight at a time.
Labour will push for closer alignment with the EU. This will have an immediate impact on inflation, once applied. Although I doubt we will see this untill 2-3 years in. Labour have said they would stop the tax breaks going to fossil fuel companies. There will be a levy on the profits they are gouging also. They have also stated vat removal from private schools and removal of the non-domicile status (which is mentioned in the reference article). They will also be chasing the fraudulent cash that has been stolen from the country under the Tories. This will be alongside reforming the Lords, and more devolution. A removal of some of the more egregious laws the Tories have imposed such as protesting rights.
People need to get a perspective on just how much damage the Tories have done. It is not going to be fixed over night. This means there will be a priority list.
I can say this while also saying that I am not even sure I will vote Labour at the next GE. My biggest priority for my vote is PR voting. By all means check my history comments. I am stuck in a very pro Labour constituency. I still have not decided yet for either vote tactically to make sure we keep the same grifter Labour MP we currently have, or show my wishes by voting LD who wish to remove FPTP. I am fairly confident any vote for LD in my area will be a wasted vote.
