Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sir Keir Starmer admits he worries about the toll of a general election year on his two teenage children.
The Labour leader said he and his wife, Victoria Starmer, have tried to keep their 15-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter out of the public eye.
Mr Starmer told Sky News's Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips programme the "country is ready" to go to the ballot boxes.
Speaking about a row over borrowing to invest in new energy technology and jobs, he said: "If they want that fight, bring it on."
Mr Starmer said he talks through "all the big decisions" with his wife - but admitted he is concerned about the potential publicity around his two teenage children.
He added: "When I finished as chief prosecutor, as director of public prosecutions and was thinking about going into politics she was ringing other job adverts to go and carry on doing something in law.
