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! :'(

Should a real terms pay cut be accompanied by a compensatory drop in productivity? I think it’s called quiet quitting or something…

Quiet Quitting is doing only what was paid for and no more. Thus crap pay results in crap output.

Doing your job and nothing more has been called coasting for decades, but apparently some blogger made a stupid new term that doesn't involve being quiet or quitting and that is what will be used from now on.

It's called working to rule. I see it the other way around, going beyond what you're paid for or agreed in your contract isn't being "driven" it's being a mug and letting your management take the piss.

It's called working to rule and people have always done it as a protest in workplaces, we didn't need some stupid new tick tock friendly name for it.
