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.

I'd say this is pretty obvious, but a week is a long time in politics, and 16 months is even longer (I can definitely see them hanging on until the last possible election date, which is 23rd January 2025)

I mean we give 300m/week to the migrants. Isn’t it time we fund the NHS instead?!

… or some shit like that. And people will gobble it up and vote Tory because “labour can’t be trusted with the economy”.

It’s all so predictable. British politics sucks.
