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! :'(

When are they gonna overhaul the unsustainable tax loophole system?

[–] Jinks 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, they've closed the none-dom loophole and are working on the farmland inheritance dodge. I'm not a Labor fan but they're actually fixing the system this time.

Also not a fan of Labour, not this one anyway, said yesterday I thought Reeves had achieved some positives and someone got very upset with me.

Its crazy, I can't get my head around the British public expecting Labor to have fixed all; tax loopholes, the economy, the housing crises, the cost of living crises, Brexit, local councils, taking services back out of private hands,

All within the first year. I'm sure we used to be more reasonable with our expectations.

There's a lot of overhaul of unsustainable things needed in this country. The media through one side of their mouth says action needs to be taken, then through the other wages a holy war against anybody trying to make changes.
