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!
This is the Observer's coverage of the Reform Russian Spie Scandal... 600 words on page 22 of the printed newspaper.

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’🧵

Sign the petition: Strip Boris Johnson of his annual former PM allowance
23,000. That's how many deaths can be blamed on Boris Johnson's chaotic Covid decisions and delays. Enough is enough, he must be stripped of his annual £115,000 handout. Sign the petition today:

Reform UK are going to announce a policy where all EU citizens will be stripped of all benefits and double the NHS surcharge

They will be given 3 months notice. If the EU refuses to accept these terms, there will be a ‘trade retaliation’ with the EU?

- Taxes are too high, and defends increasing taxes in government given the pandemic and Ukraine.

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want.
They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).
Time we woke up to the betrayal.

Brexit.

Ten years have passed. Arguments raged. Our economic issues were due to global shocks.

But no, new data shows UK falling behind 33 comparable countries.

We took back control - straight into a self inflicted economic slowdown.

The British Establishment first and foremost protects its own. Johnson will never face punishment. It would open a can of worms they'd much prefer was kept shut. Until its strangle hold is addressed Westminster will never be capable of supporting a modern democracy.
