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.

Suella Braverman has reacted to a photo in which she was pictured standing on a guide dog’s tail at the Tory party conference.

The Home Secretary issued an “apology to all dogs” after she took to the stage at a Blue Collar Conservatism reception on Tuesday (3 October).

Ms Braverman was pictured with her foot on a guide dog’s tail.

The dog, named Inca, was at the conference with Guide Dogs UK, who are campaigning for a ban on pavement parking.

“I don’t think any dogs were harmed in the filming of my visit,” Ms Braverman said.

“I don’t think any dogs were harmed in the filming of my visit,” Ms Braverman said.

Although she did later eat a puppy for lunch. Which didn't get in the top ten of the worst things she did that day.

Yeesh. If Braverman said nothing at all, it would have been better than trying to make a joke of it.

I hear she's got a nice sideline going in Dalmatian coats.

I hear she hates her immigrant parents, Jewish husband, and herself for not being white.

Some of this reads like satire, absolutely bizarre, much like most of the things coming out of this conference.

Where do UK voters find these amazing folks like Cruella Braverman?
