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.

Appreciate its only been about 9 months or so, but been disappointed with Labour so far...
Starmer doesn't appear to be listening to the public mood on benefit reform, taxes or even the growing hostility here towards the US. It seems he's stuck 2 years in the past and as others have suggested it's difficult to see him as being the leader of the Labour Party. The most positive move I've seen him make was his warm welcome of Zelenskyy after the White House disaster.
I don't know if it was true, but I once read that Churchill rode the underground shortly before his famous speach which helped him get the mood of the public. Starmer really needs to doing something similar. He's looking more out of touch every passing week.
