General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.

Excellent news.

Starmer can fuck off to Tel Aviv with his Epstein buddies.

The issue is that labor is competing with the greens, and this plays into Reform’s favor :-(

This result actually indicates that it's not. The Greens won, they beat out reform by so much that even if you add the conservative vote to the reform vote, they still lose. They kicked labor down into third place. That's not splitting the vote.

I just think it's hilarious that Labour has for years been leaning on this "the Greens split the vote" line. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, I'm betting they feel differently.
