United Kingdom
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.

Is there any other job in the world where the boss can just swap the managers around and hope everything is run better?
Do these people actually have any qualifications? I don't understand how you can just shuffle people around when they have no experience of what they're doing. That's what it feels like to me.
Ministers aren't supposed to have experience, they're there to make decisions. All the expertise is held in the Civil Service, and they don't get shuffled around.
They just get occasionally fired by vandals.

Oic, thanks! 👍
Randomly reshuffling the cabinet is all Sunak can do at this point. That "We want to be dictators but we are not bright enough" party it's constantly on the brink of self-destruction and the only way to hold it together is to give some of the more, enthusiastic members, top jobs to keep them quiet.
