United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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 the best summary I could come up with:
Mr Morgan, the ONS's director of economic statistics, said that basic pay "is growing at its fastest since current records began".
Mr Morgan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that real pay growth, when taking into account the rate of inflation, "is still falling a little".
Figures show that, taking into account the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure of inflation, average regular pay fell by 0.6%.
"The fall in employment in the three months to June and further rise in the unemployment rate will be welcomed by the Bank of England as a sign labour market conditions are cooling, " said Ruth Gregory, deputy chief UK economist at Capital Economics.
Ms Mason said the company had increased its wages to fill shifts left vacant by employees who, following Covid, decided they wanted a better work-life balance and have chosen to work fewer days.
