Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Quick analysis of The Times today: Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform. Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

Is Farage still the racist bully he was at school? “there’s a substantive case that Farage did change. He’s seen the strategic necessity of maintaining a clear boundary with the far right” Cynical political manoeuvring should not shield him. So yes, he still is. www.thenewworld.co.uk/sunder-katwa...

Some quick pointers for the government 🚨Asylum seekers are not, by any measure, "illegal migrants" 🚨The latest immigration stats have pretty much nothing to do with this government 🚨It's a genuinely weird flex to boast about making the country you govern less attractive www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wonder what these Islamophobe bigots would do if it was a white Christian who was responsible for the shooting, like in the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Oh, that's right. NOTHING. 2/2

So the racist/fascist Trump admin will freak out about this ONE shooter being Afghan and attack ALL Afghans in America..... yet the vast majority of shooters in this country are white males....is Trump going to do anything about them? Of course not. Racism and fascism in full view.

Politician who fanned anti-LGBT sentiment stunned to find rising levels of anti-LGBT sentiment

Will Snell of @fairness.bsky.social assesses the UK Budget: “Failing to increase capital gains tax rates and leaving the top tax rate on dividends untouched meant that the very rich were let off the hook”. See more in our latest post #LSEInequalitiesBlog buff.ly/3FnrGNZ

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone whose joy isn't heightened by the misery of others.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

Because Labour and the Tories conflated all types of immigration with illegal immigration, exactly what Farage and his Nazi mates wanted. Gone is all discussion about the benefits migrants bring to the work force, now they're framed as taking away something from the British people.

Plastic pollution: a crisis requiring systemic change Plastic pollution is worsened by warming climate and must be stemmed, researchers warn By Brian McHugh

Immigration creates jobs, supports public services, & drives growth. These are economic facts. How is it that the only days we *dont* have the media banging on about immigration is on the days we’re handed the budget? #r4today

Full article www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk. That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Oh.

It's almost like much of the mainstream media and right wing press has an agenda, isn't it.

Let's flip this one folks.

New analysis by the House of Commons library estimates that Brexit is costing the Treasury up to £90bn a year in lost tax revenue, and the average Briton has seen a hit to GDP per head between £2,700 and £3,700. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

The audio leak of Steve Witkoff advising the Russian side what to do, what to say and how to progress is nothing more but collaboration with Moscow, probably even more. It further confirms what I was writing on Sunday when the US Senators were actively rejected this.

The Anglosaxon version of capitalism in a nutshell.

Roll up… Roll up.. join Reform to hang out with like minded bigots

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.

We saw it with big tobacco, we saw it with the fossil fuels industry. When their own internal research showed the harm from their product, the defunded the research and attacked independent researchers coming to the very same conclusions. #ScienceUnderSiege

When it happens, thank a centrist near you.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Farage's racist remaks as an 18 year old were only "banter" if he rejected racism later. But he never has. In fact, without racism, Farage wouldn't have a career! #RacistFarage

Never forgive How can anyone not be angry Brexit brought Britain to its knees! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

All these accusations that Nigel Farage is a racist and hates all foreigners seem a little far-fetched I mean, he clearly loves The Russians #bbcbreakfast #r4today

Here’s how that went…

Piggy Pedo administration.

Jasmine Crockett on MTG quitting: “Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes.” 🔥 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Cf corporate Democrats.

That some still argue over whether EU contributions were “subs” or “fees” shows how little they understand the concept of membership. The EU wasn’t a shop counter: it was shared governance. Britain paid in because it helped write the rules. Now it simply waits in line to follow them.

You can tell someone’s Reform from weapons grade hypocrisy they use so freely.. take Nathan Gill’s profile on X for example👇🏼👇🏼 “Love my God, my family and my country. Not afraid or ashamed to be patriotic.” 10 years in prison for taking bribes from our enemy Russia is as unpatriotic as it gets❗️😡🤷🏼‍♂️ 1

I'd imagine the two boats Farage is not seeking to be stopped

They remain the only government in my lifetime without a theory of how economic growth happens and a determination that it definitely not be through universities, immigration, high skilled services, tax simplification, trade relations etc

So many of the pro-Farage and pro-Brexit accounts turn out to be Americans pretending to be British.

Let’s check in on the MAGA ‘patriots’ from Russia, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kenya, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Iran - spreading their ‘patriotism’ worldwide.

Every time I go on ex dot com, it's somehow got even more horrifying. Literally thousands of accounts (I'm not going to assume they're people) screaming at Wes Streeting for not being sufficiently anti-trans. This is how the UK government chooses interacts with its citizens digitally. It's not OK.

last month I was nearly banned from FB marketplace with just one warning because a meta AI thought i was posting counterfeit sneakers, and when I tried to appeal the decision, it was impossible to speak to a human

Reform plans a mass rally in Scotland. Here's what I wrote in The Herald last September. www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

He just keeps claiming Biden's accomplishments. Sad little, lying, ignorant man doesn't have any of his own. 💥💯💥🖕🖕🖕🖕

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

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!
