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.

The recession will be tiny? Must be close to rock bottom then. Time for Labour to clean up the mess.

it's a shame there aren't more eyes on green and independent runners like Corbyn, but anything will be better than the conservatives at this point.

In my Lab safe seat, my Green vote is nailed on. If there was any chance of a Tory win here, I'd be holding my nose and voting Lab.

Yeah my seat is neck and neck, at least it was in the last election, I suspect it probably won't actually be in this election but you can't take the risk. Lib dems are nowhere near here and the Greens are even further behind.

I misunderstood and thought you were safe from a recession because of your tenured job in some laboratory

[–] thelardboy@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago

I fucking wish. Got made redundant pre-Covid and not been in steady work since.

Same. My seat is a guaranteed Labour. I'm voting Green because I want to make them the runner up so they can threaten Labour one day.
