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.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Labour's shadow net zero secretary Ed Miliband said: "Every family is paying the price in higher energy bills due to 13 years of Tory failure on insulating homes.
"After Rishi Sunak's track record as chancellor with the disastrous Green Homes Grant, this is another short-sighted decision that will cost families money."
This year a BBC investigation found six out of 10 recently inspected UK rental homes failed to meet a proposed new standard for energy efficiency.
Energy analyst Jess Ralston told the BBC that the "gas boiler and petrol car phase-out weren't set to have any impact on cost of living for struggling families for more than a decade".
"Insulation programmes could have a more immediate impact, yet the prime minister ditched that policy last week and now the government seems to be turning its back on experts and ideas that could help boost energy efficiency," she said.
"Experts like Citizen's Advice are clear if you want to bring down bills you do energy efficiency, you help people to stop wasting heat through rooves, windows and walls."
