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! :'(

Reported as misleading headline. It's not actual policy.
Not much we can do as it isn't editorialised by OP, that's all on the Torygraph.
We may want a list of sites for this community that are either black or grey listed but we also don't want to overly restrict the sources used too much as you'd be in danger of groupthink and enforcing a more left-leaning mindset that doesn't properly reflect the range of opinion amongst general British voters.
So I would black-list the Sun and Star, grey-list the Mail, Express and Telegraph as sources to be used sparingly. We'd probably also want to grey-list sources like The Morning Star, etc - we have [email protected] for that kind of thing.
the amount of people just reading the headline and not understanding this isnt an actual 4 day work week, just 10 hour work days is funny.
its getting reposted all over the internet as 'labour introduces 4 day work week!' when they have literally just changed the wording on some things that where already like that; employers already had to consider any compressed 4 day work week request in the UK before this.
Its only a 4 day work week if they reduce the hours!
