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.

Really frustrating that children are 3x likely to be in poverty as pensioners, yet a disproportionate amount of money is redirected towards pensioners, the richest demographic by a long shot.
And as has been made clear, any attempts to address that will not be tolerated by media or by the electorate. Labour couldn't even get the original WFA cuts through, despite the poorest still being entitled to them!
Labour restarting SureStart in all but name will surely be a big help for young children and new parents, as will things like the sizable minimum wage increases, and the expansion of free school meals. But it won't be enough to fix this problem entirely.
I cannot imagine where all the money has gone. Perhaps if we lower taxes on the very rich a smidge they'll give some back out of the goodness of their hearts?
They’re gonna invest and provide jobs for all…soon.
It's still just slowly trickling down. Any day now.
I wondered what that smell was.
