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 never said it was a positive.
And claiming the Tory discount was not due to end is dishonest.
I said it was a 50% reduction in discount. I made no claim of positive or negative. And pointed out the positive of the first large scale public investment in buses outside London in over 40 years.
Do not put words in my mouth.
Now to actually claim the positives here. The tories planed to end the £2 cap costing about £225m a year and pay nothing to expand bus services back into the huge number of rural routs they have been ended over their leadership.
The Labour Party instead invested £151 in the £3 discount Plus another £925M in 25-26 to introduce new bus routes, make services more frequent and protect crucial bus routes for local communities.
Now explain how you can claim this is not an overall improovement.
The words in your mouth are here for everyone to see. That’s enough for me.
Translation. You have no answers. And are the very tory shill you accused op of being.
Cool don't worry everyone reading can tell.
