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.

These is a tradition that parties don't stand a candidate in other parties leaders' electorates.
It's 100% bullshit.
That is absolutely provably false, the reason no party put forward a candidate in this by-election was to not legitimise Farage's publicity stunt.
Farage openly claimed this was going to be a "him vs the establishment" election, so "the establishment" as he calls it refusing to contest him has successfully made him look like a fool and has him crashing out hard in interviews
