United Kingdom
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.

God ducking riddance. Not sure how the new person is though
See, I don't think you are British, and it makes me wonder why you display such a strong reaction.
You really think that the UK going through 9 PMs in ten years is a great situation?
The very fact you admit you know fuck all about Burnham or his policies suggests that, at best, you are under informed.
Here's my take. Burnham is just another Starmer and all this whole sorry episode has done is highlight how broken our system is, how our politics has become quick-fix personality led nonsense guided by a jaded media landscape and constant commentary by absolute fuckwits on an international scale.
I think people like the spectacle of resignations. They like the drama and something to talk about, but ultimately they don't care for fixing problems and having to make nuanced and possibly unpopular decisions.
For what it's worth, I'm not fan of Starmer. But if keeping him in helped up repel Farage and populism just a little bit longer, I was willing to make that concession.
I hope Burnham proves better but his chat during the campaign shows him to be of similar mind, just with a little extra personality. Maybe it will be enough.
This isn't a day to celebrate fuck all though.
The exact same.
