General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.

Sir Keir Starmer has said he will seek a "much better" Brexit deal with the EU if Labour wins the next general election.

I mean, he can seek it, but I don't see any reason for the EU to accept any changes on their end.

The EU would be happy if the UK signed something like Norway and Switzerland have. Of course that's pretty much what the UK had before Brexit but without the right to vote on the rules, but that's the UK's problem.

Even worse: I see no reason for the EU to even think about starting a re-negotiation. It makes no sense for them.
