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

Because this train of thought is making things better.
The only way to fix things is to incur so we can actually improve things in the country. That means investing in making us self-sustaining and making it more attractive for doctors and nurses.
I agree but there will be limits on how much additional borrowing and spending markets will be ok with.
It means that spend has to be on the biggest issues and things most likely to help the economy.
I want to say fuck the markets, but that doesn't work out so well. The reality is though, unless we invest heavily in things like health, education, heat pumps, solar panels, wind, artificial intelligence and robotics, then there's no hope for this country. So we really need to be firm and at least give the markets food for thought.
