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.

The Same Starmer who is increasing military funding, as well as support for Ukraine?
The same Starmer who is signing defence pacts with allies like the Nordic countries, Germany, and others?
The same Starmer who appears keen to expand various naval projects, as well as the GCAP programme, to like-minded allies such as Canada and Australia?
The Same Starmer who has increased resources towards the aforementioned GCAP (UK, Italy, and Japan's joint 6th gen jet fighter project, which is significantly further ahead than the US's and France/Germany/Spain's respective 6th gen fighter projects)?
The same Starmer who's overseen the Royal Navy successfully preventing Houthi terror groups attacking and boarding civilian cargo ships bound for Europe?
The same Starmer who, after Iran threatened to attack UK bases, warned them not to, and they immediately backed down, while simultaneously keeping us out of the conflict (unlike the US).
Starmer and his team actually seems pretty damn competent on defence so far.
This is just dumb posturing from a deranged Republican. And not just any Republican, the US embassador to Israel, a country who has became increasingly hostile to Starmer over the past year, because he wants them to stop committing war crimes.
Honestly, what a discardable opinion.
