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.

House of Lord petition... why is this important?

Michael Gove wants to let developers increase pollution and harm rivers. Right now, planning authorities can only approve developments they’re sure will not damage protected habitats - but if the Housing Secretary gets his way, that rule will be scrapped.

The papers are saying that the Government will try and amend the levelling up and regeneration bill. The Bill is currently in the House of Lords, and the Government needs to get support for it soon if they want Michael Gove’s plans to succeed. With our dirty rivers all over the news, will the House of Lords want to support more poo-llution in our water?

We need to show the House of Lords that we will not stand for the Government’s plans to put our natural habitats at risk instead of saving them.
