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.

Rishi Sunak vows to face down Tory rebels doing anything that is costing his friends money

What would be the financial angle here?

My guess would be the assumption that he has friends in the vape industry? No proof of that, that's the only way is can see this being monitarily motivated.

Is he going to stand on a box for that face off?

Is he in favour of or against the smoking ban? I can't keep up with who is most regressive and stupid in the government any more

He's the one who suggested it, so I'd assume he's in favour, although I suppose you never can tell with this government.
