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.

It would be a good move. Labour need to win hearts and minds, and this is where they fall behind. When you have Farage gaining support every day by running on a populist agenda you need someone to counter him.
Gone are the days of our leaders leading behind closed doors. As much as I’d prefer to not hear from government and just have them do what they’re supposed to do, unfortunately in this day and age if you aren’t “seen” you are perceived as doing nothing by the vocal minority.
As much as I hate Trump and his clown car of a cabinet, this is something they excel at. And it is high time that the good guys use their tactics against them for the greater good. The good thing is you don’t even have to feel itchy about it as it’s just being seen and heard.
The one thing they do need to do is drown out the voices of our dumb right from Farages clown car.
Trump is certainly the wrong model, but they do need to communicate better. In particular I think they need to communicate the reasons behind their decisions.
Etc, etc, etc.
I find their attitude to the EU inexplicable. We all know Labour is overwhelmingly pro EU, and the voting public itself strongly regrets the vote. Unless they are lucky they are going to find the Lib Dems taking the former moderate Tory vote, Labours current centre vote and the normal disillusioned voter all governments generate and creating a pretty threatening new voter block.
