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.

That's my take too - he is doing everything to try not to spook the horses. My concern is, he might stick to this after the election when he'll have such a stonking majority he could do what he likes.
I think you're right on this one. Certain press outlets are already painting this as a "plot to reverse brexit".
He basically can't say anything without the Tory press jumping on it and spinning it as some kind of secret foreigner-loving, commie plot.
I imagine his chat with Macron was pretty much: "I am highly restricted in what I can say at the moment but we'll have a longer chat when I win. Nudge, nudge wink, wink." Macron: "you English with you nudging and winking!".
