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.

These numbers are a bit daft to consider in isolation.

Badenoch is completely useless, and way to far the right of traditional conservative values. But she's also not got a snowball's chance in hell of ever becoming PM so people aren't as bothered by her as they would be if she was actually in charge doing these things.

In much the same way that no one would really care about starmer if he wasn't prime minister. The trouble is he is prime minister.
