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! :'(

Nah, it was oven ready /s
Still on the hunt for the perfect Brexit
I don't think the EU wants y'all back fella...
Sure we've had Brexit, but what about second Brexit?
I don't think they know about second Brexit Pip.
The EU wants the UK back. We're stronger together and the UK can bring much to the table if it's not currently going bonkers.
Yeah, about that whole "not going bonkers" thing ...
You're kidding. It'd be an astonishing political victory.
Not to rejoin, no (and who can blame them?). But that's not his plan!
TBH the UK in the single market is a better outcome for the UK as well as the EU. It puts something like reins on our frequently out-of-control government and leaves one powerful neoliberal voice out of the shouting match.
Would these mean we're 'reheating' Bojo's 'oven-ready deal'.
That would imply that it really was over-ready as opposed to uncooked random ingredients still sitting in fields in farms, probably in the EU.
I voted Leave. This is fine.
Successive governments chopping and changing our relationship with the EU is what I expect. Brexit is a process, not an event.
What on earth could the UK offer to the EU to even think of opening a re-negotiation phase? And if you believe that the UK can somehow "out-deal" the UK during that, remember that the negotiation skills are still with the EU.
But you said you voted for desaster. You got it, be happy.
I mean, they literally renegotiated the Northern Ireland Protocol earlier this year. Or the "Windsor Framework" as it's known.
The whole point of negotiations is to create a situation that's beneficial to both parties. It's in both the UK's and the EU's interest.
Pretty weird seeing British tourists disappear over the past few years. Used to run into them all the time.
