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.

Not an opinion, just a genuine question. What are peoples thoughts on the inflation figures from ONS, do you think they are accurate?
Good question. There are probably quite good at measuring well. However, Considering that they say the fall is mostly due to the energy cap, the better question might be...Are they measuring the right prices? There's no right answer, I suppose.
The ONS has multiple values depending on which selection of prices you're interested in. EMG. With/without fuel, and one assuming a standard shopping basket which they regularly update to make sure it's what people are currently buying.
