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.

Britain’s equality watchdog could lose its right to participate at the UN human rights council as a result of complaints about its independence and record on transgender rights.

The Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (Ganhri), which accredits bodies based on internationally recognised standards, has launched a special review of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

The review could lead to the commission losing its A status, which gives it independent participation rights at the UN human rights council as well as the right to vote and hold governance positions in Ganrhi.
