United Kingdom
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.

That's a larger increase than I was expecting, what, like 3x inflation?
It's certainly not a magic silver bullet that singlehandedly fixes our low wage economy like a lot of people on Reddit/Lemmy appear to expect, but it's a positive step at least.
I just really hope there's serious infrastructure and employment investment, particularly in the seriously impoverished areas like the North East of England. And I hope their planning permission changes will actually have a noticeable effect. Time will tell.
