General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

Not for Surrey though ☹️ we are going to become a great example of why this won't work.

Yes. For one thing, we have Reform in place in Suffolk, since the others didn't run a full campaign, on the basis that it was all going to be unitary within 24 months. Now they will be there for the full term.

So the councils which have spent vast sums of public money they can’t afford to prepare for this now have to spend more money on another scenario.

Is this regional devolution?
