Labour has said it has “no plans for a youth mobility scheme” if it wins the general election later this year.

I wish Labour would have a backbone and stand up to the hard left of their voter base and out right reject this Brexit narrative. Sigh… Not in my lifetime sadly. The two main parties are Brexit parties - one overtly, one covertly.

Ignore them, they are just gaslighting. It’s an attempt to rewrite history.

The far left were just as much against the EU with the argument that it removes power from individuals and consolidates it with bigger government, and that due to freedom of movement, you break local labour market power to enforce better pay. Just because you have some alignment, because they smash some big corporations, doesn’t mean that their values will always be aligned and and that point you have lost control.

I called them morons back then too.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
