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.

What exactly would he be doing differently if he didn't want the job anymore? Just curious πŸ™‚

He hasn't spat on a baby yet.... yet.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, eh

Why stop there when you can just punt one into the sea.

He probably just wants to bring the whole party down with him.

He's already enrolled his kids in a school in California for the ~~autumn~~ fall term. So he's desperate not to let chance and the occasional stupidity of the British voting public make that difficult.

He can’t wait to get on the lucrative dinner party speaker circuit.
