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.

My child was very premature and is only alive thanks to the good work of the neonatal doctors and nurses. This is hugely upsetting to read about. Those poor families.
A good friend had triplets at 6 months, and they were in the Liverpool Women's Hospital, where apparently Lucy Letby worked (several years later thankfully). I found the fact that she killed two triplets really upsetting; I'd imagine a lot of people are feeling particularly upset by this because of personal experience of neonatal care and premature birth. Gonna give my mate's now 17 year old lads extra big hugs next time I see them. Hugs to you too.
Thanks! Ours was born at 6 months too. This news is particularly upsetting when you know the stress of visiting your baby in hospital for months, and every time not knowing whether they'll still be there, or if they are there whether they'll have had a life-changing medical setback. I think it left us permanently changed emotionally, just to go through this. You have to put so much trust in the medical professionals, and everyone we dealt with (many years ago now) was just great. Glad your friends got through it. Best wishes to them and their kids.
