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.

Sharing this mainly because it pointed me towards FullFact's Government Tracker, which looks handy. According to them, only one pledge has not been kept, on the National Wealth Fund:

“Capitalised with £7.3 billion over the course of the next Parliament, the National Wealth Fund will have a remit to support Labour’s growth and clean energy missions”

And three others are 'Off track', while six are 'Unclear or disputed'.

Those that have been achieved include:

delivering an extra two million NHS operations, scans and appointments, recognising a Palestinian state, introducing a Football Governance Bill, ending the use of offshore trusts to avoid inheritance tax and abolishing non-dom status.

This is the UK that Labour envisioned? Christ

Most people were voting Not Conservative. I knew even with labour in we'd still be getting fucked, but was hoping they'd throw a little lube into the act.

I voted LibDem because Labour are nowhere to be seen where I live. ABC, init.
