This is the point I don’t really get, if their licence is days away from issue anyway why would Reeves meeting with them be a problem?

Because financial institutions, including the BoE have a lot more on the line, and need to keep reputational appearance even if politicians don't care because they will be out on the streets before the next election.

What's Reeves hoping to gain from this, while making claims of "cutting red tape"? It sounds like simple political interference, and as such she can fuck off.

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.
