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.

So why exactly are there still Tories that have not been tarred and feathered and run out of the cities by the common people?
There doesn't seem to be even a single one among them worth having around.
Here in Cambridge, the "Sustainable Travel Zone" was just torpedoed, killed largely by a curiously well funded "grassroots" campaign. The biggest public condemnation came from the Conservative minority on council.
In the end, it died because too many from the Labour/Libdem (mostly Libdem) majority flip-flopped on it out of fear of losing the next election to Conservatives.
This is what we get when we elect opportunistic cowards.
Because these policies are what common people want. Surprise!
Except polling shows that low traffic measures are actually popular.
Cool story, but people keep voting Tories in time after time. Ping me when that changes.
We'll have to wait for the next election for that, but again the polling shows that they aren't very popular at the moment.
Me again, look at this clown fest! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/02/rishi-sunak-commons-majority-in-peril-as-60-tories-join-liz-truss-group
Our next PM will be Truss again! Ahaha! Fuck me...
Polling was showing that Brexit will never happen. Polling was showing Labour will win to guide us through Brexit. Yeah, I'm a bit sceptical based on historic data we have.
