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! :'(

MODERATORS
 
  • Care homes will no longer be allowed to recruit staff from abroad as part of the UK's strategy to reduce net migration, with an emphasis on hiring those already in the country and extending existing visas.
  • New rules will also facilitate deportation of foreign criminals regardless of sentence length, and the Home Office will be informed of all foreign nationals convicted of crimes.
  • The government plans to introduce stricter controls on lower-skilled worker visas and place greater requirements on companies to recruit from the UK workforce, with potential repercussions for non-compliance.
