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.

In opposition Labour talked about replacing council tax with a charge with would be 0.5% of the value of the property you lived in which would halve our bill but obviously mostly increase the bills for much property in London and the south east.

Can't see them being in office long enough to even implement it.

Ooi how do you see them being removed.

Because it is not looking like the PLP has any interest in changing the leadership. And if that changes. It will be more of the same without a major change in MPs.

So labour right will be in power until at least 2029.

Sorry I meant a change this big would require a 2nd term to implement and it's that which looks unlikely.
