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.

A man who has never once won a political position is an influential politician now is he? Lord save me from armchair political pundits. He's not influential, he's just scary to the conservatives, who by the way are not going to be in power anymore so he's going to lose any kind of authority that you perceive him to have had.

Labour are way more likely to listen to anything the greens have to say. Reform won't be scary to labour because they're not going to lose votes to them.

But feel free to go vote for the racist party and if they gain any MPs it will be your fault.

Brexit is the biggest thing to have happened to the UK in recent history.

You think that would have happened without him?

Like I said he's threatening to the conservatives he isn't politically relevant overall.
