General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Conservative MP David Davis has used parliamentary privilege to ask why UK readers were barred from viewing an article in a prominent US magazine about the case of the former nurse Lucy Letby.
He told fellow MPs that the block on the story published in the New Yorker seemed “in defiance of open justice”.
Letby was convicted last summer of murdering seven babies at the Countess of Chester hospital, where she was a neonatal nurse.
The New Yorker published a 13,000-word piece about her case on Monday but UK readers are blocked from accessing it online.
Under English law, British media are restricted in their reporting owing to Letby’s upcoming retrial.
I will just simply make a point on the Lucy Letby case – that the jury’s verdict must be respected.
