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.

That almost got me excited for a second.
Wow, what a random and unexpected way to go.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The former Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright died from a ruptured ulcer in his stomach, according to his death certificate.
A perforated ulcer is a rarer complication when the lining of the stomach splits open.
The Metropolitan police previously said Wright’s death at a flat in the Marylebone area of central London “was unexpected, but is not being treated as suspicious”.
Wright stepped down in September 2022, replaced by Scott Mills in a schedule shake-up, but continued to present Sunday Love Songs on BBC Radio 2.
At the time of his death, Tim Davie, the BBC director general, paid tribute, saying: “All of us at the BBC are heartbroken to hear this terribly sad news.” He added: “Steve was a truly wonderful broadcaster who has been a huge part of so many of our lives over many decades.
Ken Bruce, who spent three decades presenting the mid-morning time slot on Radio 2, said he was “totally shocked”.
The original article contains 399 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Is this also Steven wright the comedian ?
No
