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:
An effigy of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been revealed at bonfire celebrations in Lewes, East Sussex, attended by thousands of people.
The historic town is famous for its lively Bonfire Night celebration, which fell on 4 November this year.
The crowds were not deterred by a yellow weather warning and travel disruption caused by the recent Storm Ciarán.
They showed up to the event despite rain, road closures, transportation issues, and a plea for people to attend local bonfires.
Seven bonfire societies each produces an effigy, which typically reflect current affairs, and are later burned in fields outside Lewes - along with a traditional Guy Fawkes.
Past effigies have included prime ministers Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Tony Blair, Russia President Vladimir Putin and broadcaster Katie Hopkins.
