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:
The intervention by Mr Wallace, who was defence secretary under three prime ministers until August, comes amid growing international pressure over the scale of civilian casualties.
Asked for his response to Mr Wallace's article, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stressed that Israel had the right to defend itself "against what was an appalling terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas".
Mr Wallace said he was not calling for a ceasefire with Hamas, but warned Israel needed to stop its "crude and indiscriminate method of attack" in the Gaza Strip.
In response to the former defence secretary's remarks, Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Wallace's choice of words were "unfortunate language".
"What will radicalise a new generation is if the terrorists who burned people alive, and tortured children in front of their parents, and raped Israeli women and girls, literally get away with murder," Mr Levy said.
In the article Mr Wallace described lessons learnt from the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and wrote that actions such as internment "taught us that a disproportionate response by the state can serve as a terrorist organisation's best recruiting sergeant".
