United Kingdom
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.

They've got another Tory leading the Labour party advised by Tony Blair (himself a Thatcherite). The Tories and Labour are so far left that George Galloway is described as far right.
Guido where are you now?!
In reality, he's probably trying to save himself from the dole queue.
He's standing down at the next general election anyway, so this isn't about saving his seat.
My bad!
What are you even trying to say? And Blair is many things, but not a Thatcherite
Upvoted because I agree that Labour have taken the centre-right place vacated by the Tories shift towards the far right.
The last hope I have in the current Labour leadership is that they are even worse liars than we thought and will turn around and implement loads progressive policies once they have been allowed into office by the right wing press. The fact that they've been have loads of meeting with the finance ghouls isn't a good sign but perhaps they're stringing them along too. I'm probably just indulging my fantasies though.
