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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Suella Braverman has signalled her desire to leave the European court of human rights (ECHR), as she warned that the treaties governing the treatment of migrants were not “fit for purpose in an age of jet travel and smartphones”.
The home secretary was speaking last night ahead of a visit to her counterparts in the US, where she will make a speech setting out what she sees as the challenges created by global migration – including small boats across the Channel.
“Illegal migration and the unprecedented mass movement of people across the globe is placing unsustainable pressures on America, the UK, and Europe,” she said.
“We must come together and ask whether the international conventions and legal frameworks designed 50-plus years ago are fit for purpose in an age of jet travel and smartphones.
Her trip and speech in the US will be seen as further evidence in the Tory party that she is positioning herself as a potential leadership candidate for the right should the Conservatives lose the next election.
Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, warned that attacks on the ECHR went against Britain’s historic support for such treaties.
