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! :'(

the plan, which includes creating a publicly-owned green power company, is not being dropped

I could be wrong, but it sounds like they're still going to have a green industrial strategy, but they're going to invest on a case-by-case basis rather than having a flat amount they're going to invest. This seems fine. If they'd just announced that in the first place, we'd all be happy with it. There is no scientific or fiscal or any other reason that £28 billion is the actual right amount of money and anything less than that is a disaster.
