Why is Keir Starmer so hellbent on digital ID? Two words: Tony Blair.

At @thenerve_news we’ve tracked Blair’s influence - & his billionaire backer Larry Ellison - behind a policy that nobody asked for & almost nobody wants.

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

Reminder that Russia is planning terrorist attacks in the US, Canada, and Europe. Also, that on the 2024 US election day Russia sent terrorist threats to primarily democrat polling stations to aid Donald Trump. It's all connected.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Nigel Farage’s Legacy — Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)… confirms the Treasury’s 2016 analysis, claiming a relative fall in GDP of between 6% and 8%.

The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

Exactly this 👇
Look, this French publication correctly labels Farage as the leader of a far right party (even if it’s technically a limited company).

Why does the British mainstream media seem to have a different definition?
He is simply called ‘the leader of Reform UK’, which makes him sound innocuous.

Also: where’s the fecking investigation, Keir Starmer?

The Welsh parliament, Nigel Farage, @prifweinidog.gov.wales @eddavey.libdems.org.uk & @zackpolanski.bsky.social are all now in agreement that we need a govt-led inquiry into Russian interference. So what on earth is the problem??

Important time. This was a few weeks after the Skripal attack when May called out Putin, and Johnson went scuttling off without his security detail to meet Putin confidante* Alexander Lebedev in Umbria and plotted with Temerko to topple May

* by then he was aiding Putin’s puppet regime in Crimea
Just as he was advising Epstein, Bannon was advising Johnson on how to topple May “Today we are going to see if Boris Johnson tries to overthrow the British government. He’s going to give a speech in the Commons.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

The ECHR ended the criminalisation of gay men in Northern Ireland. It ruled that private life should remain private and that equality before the law applies to everyone. These freedoms only exist because the ECHR holds governments to their own standards.

👏 Today marks 75 years since the creation of the ECHR.

We should celebrate the vision that Winston Churchill showed in recognising everyone’s human rights.

But there are now calls for the UK to leave ECHR.

As with Brexit, leaving would strip all of us of fundamental rights.

The Bear explains
Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Nigel Farage never did answer why he met the Russian Ambassador.

All he did was call the interviewer a nutcase.

This interview is a real insight in to how little Nigel Farage likes being asked about his ties to Russia.
