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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Rishi Sunak considers radical shake-up of A-levels (www.bbc.co.uk)

Rishi Sunak is considering a major reform of A-levels in England which could see the introduction of a new "British baccalaureate".

The prime minister's plans could include the compulsory study of maths and English up to the age of 18, according to newspaper reports.

The shake-up of A-levels would be controversial - but no final decision has been taken.

Labour said the proposals were an "undeliverable gimmick".

I can guarantee that if the schools are well funded by the government and ran by teachers, the UK’s PISA scores would be among the best in the world.
