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 thought shared parental leave was a legal minimum? For the uninitiated, that's where some or all the maternity leave can be given to the paternal parent, meaning there isn't an inequality.
If they are campaigning for more for both parents, I'm not sure I am on the same page. I can see how this would make me unpopular though.
