Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [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.
when a labour president is more willing to kiss a Tyrant's ass than a center right president
They should consider joining the EU
I love the photo imagery there. Starmer being the bashful belle of the ball, courted first by Trump and now by Macron... Oh how will he ever choose!

Hopefully the UK and France both pegging the US. Ahhhh one can only dream.
I have loads of sex metaphors for the UK-US "relationship"... This is new and grim. Well played🤮
As an European living in the UK, I really hope the UK gets closer to the EU.
Over these recent months the I think it's quite clear where we should be focusing our efforts. I can only hope we build a much stronger relationship with the EU.
Do I personally want us to rejoin, definitely!
Do I think we will? Not any time soon.
I certainly think having a relationship like the Swiss or Norway should be a good starting point.
I'm optimistic about it, especially if America continues falling apart and completely undermining the whole point of brexit. The actual public right now is split about 60 / 30 in favour and if thats as durable a change of heart as it looks rejoining is a matter of time and Reform / Tories running out of inexplicably hostile pensioners somewhere around the next 2 elections.
Just don't build your life around because its still going to take a while even at this rapid pace.
The EU in the future will be a power house with further waves of new members, reforms and integration. Theres no real reason for it to stop within Europe just because that is in the name assuming suitable potential members are to be had across the Med in the future. If the current EU was counted as one state in the stats instead of individual countries it would already the worlds 2nd largest economy.
One of the most frustrating things about brexit is that dodgy Dave held it virtually as late as he possibly could before the brexiters destroyed themselves. Even just a year or two later any vote would have had the shadow of Trumps insanity over it.
Honestly, if the referendum was held after the invasion of Ukraine, pretty sure Remain would have won by a comfortable margin
Yeah unfortunately Keir only has eyes for whatever the right wing press will approve of, so he will be ignoring Bendy Bananas Europe and leaning into DOGE pilled America.
