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.

I've seen "what happened next?" articles, I still want to know how it came to this.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The SNP leader is expected to stand down following the collapse of the Bute House Agreement - his party's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens - on Thursday.

Mr Yousaf had written to Scotland's opposition parties asking them to find "common ground" ahead of the votes.

The Scottish Greens were due to convene later to decide whether to accept Mr Yousaf's invitation to a meeting.

The Greens accused Mr Yousaf of "selling out future generations" over climate and had been due to hold a vote on whether to remain in power with the SNP in response.

Some Greens are also unhappy about NHS Scotland's decision to pause the prescription of puberty blockers following a landmark review of gender services in England by paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass.

Mr Yousaf has reportedly ruled out cutting a deal with Alba, a pro-independence party formed by former First Minister Alex Salmond after he broke from the SNP.


The original article contains 337 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

it was clear to him that the SNP's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens was "coming to an end anyway"
