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.

Surely that's within error margins.

We're flat and stagnant.

Yep. And given some expectations. That is good news.

Honestly the government has not implemented anything that will as of yet effect growth. These things take time.

But some interpretations of the recent budget caused our nations interest rates to go up. Meaning any drop in gdp would lead to deficiency in payments. IE a need to reduce spending or raise income to prevent even higher rates.

Evidence that the economy is stable. Should mean the cost of UK borrowing stops increasing for a while. Allowing the government plans to continue.

I struggle to understand economics. How is it that almost all the major big businesses in UK have been reporting strong if not record profits recently? And yet hardly any growth… hmmm…
