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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

A guess. But it seems likely trumps change from threatening indevidual nations. To attacking all imports equally. Was the result of some nations backbone so to speak.
It sounds like an attempt to stick to his claims it for the US. While still creating a form of national sales tax.
But its worth remembering. 10% is not going to effect the reasons companies build outside the US. So will not have much effect on increasing US over foreign sales.
So will not do anything but increase costs to his voters.
Lets not cut the rope he is wrapping round his neck.
