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! :'(

That context is important and ignoring it means you keep making easily falsifiable claims, like saying the energy crisis didn't impact other countries. I have now both shown, and explained to, you why that is wrong, and so my work here is done.

Lol, I didn't say that though.

I said the UK, Netherlands and Belgium let the energy shock into the economy whilst other countries used price caps to keep it out.

I then provided a source that detailed the approach on a country by country basis

You then started quoting random stuff about Spain and France
