UK Politics
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.

I dont really get why this is seen as an issue. This is fiendishly complex law that can easily be missed, and the trust was set up to try and give a child their own "stuff" as divorce made the parents doing it impossible.
Thus is just a non story.
Id rather the press was asking about the idcards that starmer has gone and raised again. Or their mad plans to ban vpns(?)
Would you be happy then if the next Tory politician found avoiding tax said:
I agree this is probably been elevated as a story because of who she is, but I think it's right that she gets called out for this type of thing. We shouldn't turn a blind eye to tax evasion not matter how small. People need to pay their fair share of tax!
Right but they're usually doing something complicated to pay less tax.
Getting that wrong and underpaying is much worse than doing something complicated to deal with a complicated family issue, and the advisors missing an incredibly tough point combining multiple specialities.
