United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

'The Government did not give any details about when or where the power stations would be built.'
This is the important bit. As frustrating as these 'commitments' are there's no guarantee they'll even happen.
...because it's courting the anti-green vote. Since the Ruislip result they think being anti-green will save them. Thing is, most people support being able to breathe clean air.
Or it's an announcement: Fuck you, we are doing it anyway and we don't care about telling you where, when, how, much it cost, or who is profiting.
Maybe. Given this governments track record I only believe something is going to happen when it actually does, not when it's revealed, committed, unveiled, pledged or otherwise. We'll see I guess.
Sure. I'm an American looking in from the outside and it just... seems like something Sunak would do given his track record.
He's also next to useless though. I'm sure he'll try and do it but whether he'll succeed is another question entirely.
When he comes up against a roadblock he often just gives up. I suppose is a benefit in some way
