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! :'(

I have an idea:
Why not try closing the intentional tax loopholes that allow massive companies to offshore profits before they're taxed on them?
The answer is because it's the same loopholes that the MPs use to offshore our taxes that they've siphoned into their own pockets.
The UK actually agreed to shoot itself in the face with Brexit to keep those tax loopholes

Rat face and melon head are just a few of the vermin in the Tories, yet the UK public gobble their shit up regardless
this is 100% a scheme to fuck the labour party who are likely to win the next election. It will force them to either immediately raise taxes on working people to revert the tax, take on more debt to keep the tax but restore the benefits, or abandon the poor and keep the tax cut as is.
it’s using poor, disabled, single parents and other vulnerable members of society as political cannon fodder and it’s fucking disgusting, but sadly par for the course with this government.
