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.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting

I’ve signed. Will you?🤔
It’s important Parliament decides before any trade deal is imposed on 🇬🇧. Starmer doesn’t have the right to push deals through without MPs being consulted & allowed to vote!
Our food safety is worth more than pleasing Donald Trump!☹️

The jury is in, water privatisation has failed. So I'm introducing a bill to Parliament that would democratise water ownership. On 28th March, MPs can put public ownership of water on the table by backing my bill.

Ask your MP to be there.

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.

The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

Here’s how they did it... 🧵

I hope MPs will vote today to give power back to those who feel powerless at end of life. Yes we need better palliative care, but best chance of that is by passing this bill. Whatever happens, big shout out to @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social for a good & compassionate campaign @dignityindying.org.uk

Today’s vote is not an easy decision. I’ve been communicating with residents for weeks and listening to evidence from experts.

I have decided to vote for the Bill, because I believe people with a terminal diagnosis should have the freedom to choose the means & timing of their passing.
