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 the plans com to fruition I'm not sure it's really meant to help anyone at all, rather just a way to hand out some more public money to a well-connected contractor.
To properly bring down long term sickness rates would mean fixing the NHS and greatly reforming regulations on employment and working conditions. Brining back opportunities for adult education would also help, I've known plenty of people who had to leave a particular career due to health issues, but could pursue many others if they had access to retraining.
