General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

Gordon Brown: Time for a new global coalition to prevent economic crisis (www.theguardian.com)

In this piece, Brown argues that rising tariffs and growing economic division push the world towards another downturn.

He calls for coordinated action, similar to what was done in 2008, when countries worked together to stabilise the global economy.

His proposal is a “coalition of the willing” to lead renewed efforts through institutions like the IMF and World Bank, even without agreement from every major power. Perhaps a reminder that some still believe global solutions are possible.

Perhaps we can all sell our gold at the lowest historic price to fund it.
