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.

Misleading title. This article says wages grew 7.8% but inflation is still 7.9%.

If your pay does not rise to meet inflation you got a pay cut. Everything else is spin.

This is why we need media reforms in the UK.

Part of the continuing deception that "Everything's going well in the UK" while the excessively rich are looting the place.

People are not falling for the con anymore. They have bottomed out and have no further to go.

BBC's title!
It's unfortunate that the increase is still under the waves compared to inflation.
