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.

An unelected Prime Minister appointing an unelected Foreign Secretary, who is himself a disgraced former Prime Minister.
Couldn’t make it up.
Are Foreign Secretaries often elected? As far as I know the UK elects a party and not Prime Ministers.
UK should have a reelection though considering how fucked up everything is.
Edit: removed redundancy
Well yes. They are usually elected members of parliament. They don't have to be of course, as is apparent.
