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.

GG!

And all that happened to our financial services was some desks got beefed up in the EU. Trade still happens in London. All the clearing is still done by LSH SA, in the EU. Big deal.

Short term pain, long term gain, according to Bailey

"could" and "may" well as the known bee killer is here right now.

Carney was better, anyway, again, that is uncertain future gain (doubt it) for defiant current pain.

Yes, a decent government would have banned it. Hopefully that'll be in Labour's manifesto

Carney was not, he left rates too low for too long and printed too much money meaning we had less headroom when covid hit. His errors are being compounded.

To be honest, all I want from the next Labour government is to to get this country's voting system off FPTP. I want Mixed Member Proportional Representation like New Zealand and Germany.

Brexit is just one of the toxic falls out of our broken democracy.
