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! :'(

it's kind of ironic, Tories shopping at a store run on market socialist grounds: worker co-op.
Waitrose is a worker co-op? Like, a proper one?
In a way - it's part of the John Lewis group, in which all the staff are technically 'Partners' and the group is run in their behalf by a trust.
I don't really know how it works, but there's info on it here (which I'll say now, I haven't read!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lewis_Partnership?wprov=sfla1
