General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

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.

News like this accelerates loss of faith in our failed political and economic orthodoxy, so in a way I'm glad to see it.

It's time now for a new and genuine progressive movement to come together and take the fight to Reform. I've signed up to the new Sultana/Corbyn/independent party but I would also recommend supporting a Green party under Zack Polanski, independent candidates who want to collaborate, and grassroots community projects.

Others analysis may differ but mine is that 'the left' is starting to pull together and we should get behind it.
