Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.

Wouldn't an oil crisis strengthen the case for less reliance on oil, hence net zero?
Yep, but in the world of corpoganda a totally avoidable oil crisis means you need moar oil which will worsen totally avoidable climate change, which will cause mass migrations which, you guessed it, will also be played to the benefit of right wing nutjobs in the press.
Ah, but we neeeeeeeed oil, so we'd best start increasing the amount we pump from the North Sea to make sure we have enough without needing to rely on bally old Vladamir.
As planned by the elites, I presume...
I don’t claim to be a news expert, but that headline needs at least one more word, I even checked the article and it’s just as mangled
