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.

With a 13% price hike incoming, I can see a lot of people dying due to the government inaction on the energy transition.
She says at one stage her energy company called to suggest she doubled her direct debit to £845 per month.
Even in the dead of winter, my all-electric house with three people in it had a bill of £171.73. How the hell does anyone get up to £845??
Are these ventilators really so inefficient, or are electricity prices in Yorkshire something like £3/kWh?
Yeah, short of starting a bitcoin mine or running a hot tub/heated pool I don't even know how I could reasonably get my energy costs over £200 a month.
