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.

Sadly she has a long string of speaking gigs. Her and Boris charge a premium for it.

Boris was at least a "journalist" (heavily finger quotes there). I'm not sure what Truss is apart from a political hack?

She was pie minister

Boris was entertaining and in comparison to Truss, actually seems to be a decent prime minister. As disastrous as Brexit was, some of his immigration policies were an improvement from Theresa May's

Perhaps you should get a PR position for the pork distribution market?

It's all she can do. She could try to parlay her political experience into management or consultancy, but it's clear to everyone that she was ultimately very bad at everything except climbing the greasy pole to the top of an organization full of unpleasant weirdos. Once she had the responsibility to lead in the wider world, she revealed herself as clueless.
