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:
Head teachers in England will be told to ban pupils from using mobile phones during the entire school day under new government guidance.
But government sources say they are confident expanding the guidance will make a difference in reducing the use of phones during the school day.
Ms Keegan - who will address her party's conference in Manchester on Monday afternoon - will say mobile phones are a distraction and are often used for bullying.
But in February 2022, the education department said blanket national rules were not necessary because a majority of schools in England were already taking action.
But rules differ across the country, with some pupils forced to hand their device at the start of the day while others are permitted to keep them in their bag or use them between lessons.
France and China have already introduced national bans on phones in schools, with the Netherland set to follow suit in 2024.
