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.

How the hell do you intend to reach net-zero with these clowns in charge?

Many in the Tories are full on climate change deniers.

They don't intend to reach net zero at all

We won't. We're gonna continue to apathetically march towards a world-ending climate crisis, and when it's finally producing societal collapse and the average person's life is being disrupted in a practical way beyond climate protestors, and it's clear we strolled past the point of no return years ago, the millionaires and billionaires will all retreat into their private safe havens and shield themselves from the rest of the world and all consequences, proclaiming "we tried guys, we really tried, but the insert scapegoat blocked us at every turn and ruined it for everyone," while we proceed to tear eachother apart.

Logical conclusion: stop making babies

They don't. They're going to let Labour take the unpopular actions necessary to get anywhere close to achieving it and then get elected back in because Labour took unpopular actions

I don't think we will with anyone.

We need huge co2 taxes and taxes on imports too. That's just the start.
