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:
In a speech in the grand surroundings of Westminster's Emmanuel Centre, Ms Truss said successive Tory governments had failed "to stand up for Conservative values".
She told a hall packed with Britain's leading right wingers, including Professor David Starkey and Vote Leave director Matthew Elliott, that the Popular Conservatism movement would challenge "wokery" and, ultimately, "restore faith in democracy".
In broad terms, the Pop Con argument is that Conservatives have been blocked from cutting taxes, cracking down on immigration and doing a lot of other things that they say people want by a network of unelected bodies who are undermining democracy.
Chief among the villains are the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which blocked deportations to Rwanda, and the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), which helped sink Ms Truss's "radical" tax cutting programme.
Lee Anderson - who recently resigned as Conservative deputy chairman - took aim at COP 28, adding ordinary voters in his Ashfield constituency did not lie awake at night worrying about whether the UK would meet its net zero targets.
Tory election candidate Mhairi Fraser laid into the "nanny state", including Mr Sunak's "ludicrous" plan to ban cigarette sales.
