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:
Dan Wootton has been suspended from GB News following comments made on his show by Laurence Fox, who asked what "self-respecting man" would "climb into bed" with reporter Ava Evans.
It comes after Fox, who also hosts on GB News, was asked about Evans while appearing as a guest on Dan Wootton Tonight on Tuesday.
Evans also said the situation raised questions about allowing Conservative MPs such as Jacob Rees-Mogg and Lee Anderson to host shows on GB News, alongside Fox "who can't see women apart from the lens of am I going to have sex with them or not".
Before his suspension, Wootton's lawyer said that "he remains sincere in his desire to apologise personally" to Ms Evans and he "respects her wishes" if she does not want to be contacted.
On Wednesday Laurence Fox posted a screenshot on Twitter, also known as X, appearing to suggest a conversation between him and Wootton after the show involving laughing emojis.
Fox, 45, an actor who previously starred in Gosford Park, also claimed that he had conducted a "pre interview" with the channel "so they knew exactly what I intended to say".
