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.

This is a strange bit of public feuding between the government and BoE.

Revolute is an interesting company which might be first to introduce Wero (EU based Visa/Mastercard competitor) to the UK, which is competition we need, but they are also heavily involved with crypto.

I just don’t know who is getting bribed and influenced the most, or in the end what is the best for the people.

How would Wero work in the UK? Surely it's Euro only? Interested to learn more.

Interesting question, I'll try to find out.
It's very easy to use but only for low value transfers, only the beneficiary's phone number is needed.
