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.

Maybe things can't only get better for Keir Starmer, as he is shamed with the latest polling just as the Labour conference begins

Boris's policies weren't the worse. He was just absolutely incompetent at actually leading the party/government on a personal level and was prone to slight corruption

He had better immigration attitudes than sunak and kier

Huh? How the fuck did you work that one out? He imported 1 million people per year, most of them non-workers who will need government subsidy their entire lives, mostly from areas of extreme religious fundamentalism.

Is that what you want?

And there's a lot more to governance than immigration. This is the man with the "oven ready" Brexit deal, thousands of extra unnecessary covid deaths, rampant corruption, shutting down parliament when they were going to vote against him, etc.
