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! :'(

Successive governments have been stupid. We've needed to heavily invest in healthcare, making the NHS attractive not only to Brits, but doctors from around the world. We need to be aiming for doctors having around 200 patients and we need to ease their workload by employing AI to do simple diagnosis, follow ups and chasing of appointments.
The fact we live in a society where we spend more on defence than health and education is insane. And we still have the audacity to treat ex soldiers like discarded goods.
