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.

Current plan seems to be to cut the numbers on any disability benefits then if they wont apply and take jobs offered no matter how crap or unsuitable cut their unemployment related benefits. They literally want people to die with that policy combination as there will be people incapable of managing a regular fixed job schedule kicked off disability.
Majority of genuine dole bludgers aren't that bothered about sanctions as they have alternate off book means of income. More pointless cruelty to cut costs to shore up state pension rises.
