United Kingdom
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.

David Lammy had already said (two weeks ago on Question Time) that he's not going to listen to his constituents but instead listen to his church group and vote against any laws on religious ground. So I do wonder if this is Sir Keir's way of quietly kicking this into the long grass.
Then his constituents need to kick him out - he is there to serve them, not whatever deity he personally believes in. A good proportion of which will not believe in or worship the same deity.
This isn't how ultra safe Labour seats work 😅.
But yeah I understand your point and totally agree. I just don't think that'll happen.
He's hardly the only MP who does that (Tim Farron and Simon Hughes, famously, over same sex marriage for two Lib Dem examples).
