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.

Wow. Sounds like Burnham is already running out of ideas.
When they can’t fix the big problems, they focus on the small ones.
"How dare we deal with minor problems while there major problems even if those major problems are also already being dealt with and we have the capacity to do both."
Ah yes, fix 14 years of Tory and EU austerity in 2 years.. totally doable
Don't you know.
The plan was Utopia.
And the timeframe was immediately.
Ah yes the EU, famously able to convince the UK to adopt the union's monetary system.
Brits still delusionally blaming Europe for their own mistakes.
Lol, maybe you should learn about EU austerity policies that were enforced, while we in the EU
And while you're at it, learn the difference between monetary systems and budgets.
Tool.
Maybe you should present your own list of these imaginary policies. As they exist inside your head it would be pretty hard for me to learn about them otherwise. The UK were never subject to the Troika austerity policies.
Or I guess you really believe you'll be seeing that £350 million any day now.
Fucking Google it

The actual policies were called Six-Pack, Two-Pack, and the 2012 Fiscal Compact (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance),
Nowhere in the paper you link does it imply that the EU imposed austerity policies on the UK.
The Tories are the only ones responsible for the fiscal policies adopted after the recession.
The EU imposed policy on all EU members. I've listed them, perhaps you should acknowledge that there were EU wide policies?
What do you think happens when you put austerity measures in a single market, more or less economic activity?
EU, devolution and social care not big enough for you?
And electoral reform, and ending rough sleeping. What a lazy start.
