My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

Ok people. We all know why the Express is running this poll. Go do your thing. You do not have to subscribe or submit your email address - you can ignore all that. You can do the poll as many times as you like. Fuck them. Let’s skew this thing. #SirSadiq #SadiqKhan
An Express poll needs more input. You know what to do...

Note: the link takes you directly to the poll, so you won't boost their ad impressions. Ignore the request for an email address - it's not required to submit the poll.

‘What we eat as children is what we want to eat for the rest of our lives’, says Rick Stein. Is that true for you? I was born in the 50s - my mother had little knowledge of good food, though to her credit she did learn.

Cool, blustery, stormy, wet … I just threw 8 snails off my tiny balcony onto the quay below. Is this normal for a Saturday night at the end of June?

Anyone here been scammed by contentbode.com? They’ve hacked my bank account and have been quietly taking small sums for two months via a now-cancelled debit card. Check your statement! @SocieteGenerale
