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.

She will try to court the far-right but fail miserably because the far-right are racist/misogynistic and she's a black woman. Will fall on a no confidence vote and won't make it to the next General election. Just keeping the seat warm for Cleverly methinks.

Then he'll take over and try to bring the party back more towards the middle which will also fail because it'll immediately cause a bunch of infighting between those with more than two IQ points and the current lot.

The only way for the conservative party to survive now without splitting up is to have a cull of the extremists and I just don't think Cleverly has the balls for that.
