What a recommendation! Thank you @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social both for recommending the podcast AND backing @the-citizens.bsky.social campaign for an inquiry into Russian interference in UK politics 👊👊👊

So this is a bit weird. The Guardian has done a big ‘Who owns the UK media?’ graphic that includes all national titles + Unherd, Statesman etc. But *not* the Observer. 🧐 Cock-up? Or implicit acknowledgment that we still don’t actually know who *does* own the Observer.

Jennifer Welch GOES OFF on Katie Miller: “If you think that my opinion that you and your husband are Nazi white nationalists is hateful, good. I will never stop calling out the injustice and the cruelty and the Nazi-style ideals that your husband has. You’re sociopaths.“

DID WE MSS ANYTHING?

Those could be useful tools. Now all we need is approval from Israel. @romanpiso.bsky.social

Dear MAGA, If you didn't want us to torch the mean asshole who made President Biden's age / physical condition an issue -- despite the fact he's only 2 years younger and in WORSE shape -- you shouldn't have thrown rocks in that glass house. Turnabout is fair play. Buckle up.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Exactly this, i suspect Putin picked Trump's cabinet, it is filled with inexperienced losers.

Good one!!!

They'll thank us for our service while deporting veterans who served this country. The ACLU's work to bring deported veterans home is some of the most important advocacy happening today. We must support all who served, regardless of their place of birth. #BringThemHome www.aclu.org/news/civil-l...

Let's be blunt: A good leader would never be threatened by their subordinates following the law. Trump's tantrum isn't about politics; it's a preview. He's telling our troops, "My word is above the law." That's the opposite of everything our military family signed up to defend. #IllegalOrders

Adam Richardson is Deform's whore in chambers to be thoroughly exposed for the politically biased hypocrite he is. Impartiality is not his way of practicing law.

Also: where’s the fecking investigation, Keir Starmer? The Welsh parliament, Nigel Farage, @prifweinidog.gov.wales @eddavey.libdems.org.uk & @zackpolanski.bsky.social are all now in agreement that we need a govt-led inquiry into Russian interference. So what on earth is the problem??

And now the Observer are reporting that the investigation is widening... observer.co.uk/news/politic...

As co-convener of Vote Leave, Michael Gove occupied a position of legal responsibility. The unlawful spending & campaign coordination happened on his watch. The denials - proven to be false - ditto. Vote Leave, ultimately, accepted the finding & paid the fine. There were no other consequences. 3/

The whistleblower of that public interest investigation, @shahmirsanni.bsky.social was viciously smeared by figures around Gove including those in government. He lost his job. He was outed as gay. 2/ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019...

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

It's a great thread. Takes a lot of effort to put one together of that quality, but it is absolutely worth it. In my worthless opinion. And especially when you're ahead of the whole industry on what should be the biggest story.

See this thread here for a compilation of our reporting & why it matters. We are still seeing the press & politicians minimising the importance of this case even while a police investigation is ongoing & there are so many qs outstanding. bsky.app/profile/then...

Dear Bluesky, www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners. We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!
