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! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has ruled out any version of a wealth tax on the richest in society should Labour win the next general election.
The interview comes as Labour steps up efforts to demonstrate it can be trusted with the economy - and further distance itself from the policies of former leader Jeremy Corbyn - ahead of an election that is expected next year.
Ms Reeves also told the Sunday Telegraph her preparations for government include "spending an awful lot of time with businesses".
But the left has said Labour should instead raise taxes, rather than lower its sights - and left-wing campaign group Momentum described the latest move as "shameful".
Labour's strategists are content to provoke the ire of the left, partly as a way to emphasise how far the party has changed since the Corbyn era.
The Conservatives, though, have accused Labour of taking people for fools, arguing that even the party's existing policies would push taxes up.
