United Kingdom
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.

If I were to be charitable, she gave them 4 months notice, when the law only requires one, then she tried to sell it and it is still actually on the market at a reduced price. The bulk of the £700 increase, too, is that she was actually initially renting it out at below market value.
However, this is fucking disastrous for image, doubly so given what she's a minister of.
Given the information above, are the headlines overblown and missing very important context? Definitely. Deliberately so, even.
But that's what the media does. And Labour are morons for not preparing for that by vetting their ministers for shit like this.
God they are actually so bad at this. They aren't the Tories, they should know they aren't going to be let off for things like this. They need to be whiter than white. The media wants nothing more than a Conservative or Reform government, and Labour keeps giving them ammo.
