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.

I’m having trouble finding a government source on this, as it would be useful for us to know if we need the UKCA mark or not after all on our export products.

But I’m frankly not surprised, there’s so many regulatory things regarding the UK that’s just in limbo, making it really annoying for us to actually follow the rules. Our company has more than once considered just pulling out of that market.

The good news is that now we have to follow CE requirements on product safety with precisely zero say on the rules because we're out of the EU. Great job Brexiters.

What was Cameron's whimsical quote? "Like a small boy with his face pressed on the sweet shop window"

With it being a concern for my work I did a bit of digging and found the gov.uk press release which doesnt really have any extra detail.

Score! Yeah, it’s a concern for mine too. Thanks for sharing!
