UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Jeremy Corbyn never seems to quite grasp the minutia of a situation. Sure it's not great that it happened but you have to judge how bad the situation was when calculating a response. The government have already said that they accept responsibility and that it was bad, and that there isn't any money, sorry.
It's not like they face some major injustice, they were slightly inconvenienced. It's hardly reformation worthy.
The best outcome for all of this would be that the DWP could marginally improve to be less shit, but realistically I don't have my hopes up.
