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.

And after that, Tories will be a sidenote in the history books.

We can hope, but history says otherwise 😭

The party system is too entrenched. The last time it changed was because of a combination of WW1, votes for women and David Lloyd George being a twat.

I'm hoping my generation doesn't succum to the age = right-wing trope

Please Christ. I'm an atheist but I'd happily sell my soul to Satan to ensure that if I thought he was there to buy it
