1. We've had a huge response to the launch of the Earth Rover Program, above all from small farmers, especially in Africa. Farmers all over the world are highly attuned to the need for a better understanding of soil, and have immediately seen the potential. 🧵 1/10 www.earthroverprogram.org

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Cole does ask if banning Halal means banning Kosher. CT says it should CT does say he'd ban Kosher + those Jews who want it "have a country of their own to go to" Cole does not challenge or contest this in any way

Tomlinson says he wants a hostile environment for those who don't meet the high standard of integration: renounce all previous allegiances + "adopt the religion of the tribe" Cole does not seem to even notice this or challenge this. CT later specifies Islam is incompatible.

The regime insists of the "peace" propaganda, as if Georgia would be at war with Russia without them. (1 of the 2 main pillars of their Kremlin propaganda, the other being "Europe is making us gay"). And they have no problem using chemical weapons against us. 📷 @rusudandjakeli.bsky.social

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency. The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries. Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries. Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

Today’s Russian papers on chances of a peace deal: “Don't count on Russia making noticeable concessions.” But: “If proposals are acceptable to Russia, one could talk of a summit in Budapest.” Meanwhile, Russia’s “economic malaise betrayed by rise in wage arrears." #ReadingRussia

You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not. This week’s column by Stewart Lee www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Netanyahu "asks" the Israeli president Herzog to cancel his trial. This is not a pardon request, in any meaningful sense. Netanyahu has not accepted any wrongdoing, and is not planning to step down. There's a good chance Herzog accepts the request. Netanyahu made him president for this role.

Y'days post: Expertise, Government, the Media and Covid mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/11/expe... Why did the media hold Johnson to account for allowing lockdown parties in No.10, but did not hold him to account for allowing tens of thousands of preventable deaths from Covid?

“Soldiers testify that they have been told to burn down houses they have stayed in by pouring oil on curtains, books and mattresses.” Read @aloner.bsky.social’s report on the destruction of Gaza’s cities.

New post: Expertise, Government, the Media and Covid mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/11/expe... The Covid inquiry shows not just political failure on a deadly scale, but of media failure to transmit expertise and to hold to account politicians that let tens of thousands die unnecessarily.

Truly stomach churning. What's esp disturbing is that this is completely normalized all over the west. Our govts and our press insist, that Israelis are 'civilized' and 'moral', while their victims, Palestinians are barely considered human. Their endless mass slaughter is reported as a 'ceasefire'

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!

Today marks 22 years since the Rose Revolution - the day that reshaped Georgia for the better and saved the country, at least for my generation. I will be forever grateful and will continue to fight for its values.

NEW: This is worth your time. @thenerve_news has the receipts. A comprehensive timeline of Nathan Gill & Nigel Farage’s pro-Kremlin influencing activities & 2 other MEPs, David Cobourn & Jonathan Arnott. Please read & share.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

From the wonderful @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @thenerve.news some stunning journalism. 👏👏👏 www.thenerve.news/p/nathan-gil...

Please just watch this. Protesters simply march through a narrow street, and the regime police rushes in to abduct Mariam Mekantsishvili, a young single mother. Simply for protesting. #TerrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests Day 360 📷 @mariamnikuradze.bsky.social
