So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.
NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?

Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share!

Petition to support Francesca Albanese, human rights lawyer who comments on the Israeli government's actions in Gaza has meant she's been sanctioned by the US. They try to silence those who speak up. The petition nominates her for a Nobel Peace Prize.

🚨This isn’t history. It’s a plan for our future.

Amnesty UK has exposed powerful & well-funded groups that are working to stop women, LGBTI+ people & children making decisions over our bodies, health & futures.

This matters to all of us as everyone’s rights are at risk.

Join us in exposing them.

In a statement after the strike, the IDF said it had been targeting "terrorists" and that steps were taken to "mitigate the risk of harming civilians using aerial surveillance"

40 dead, included 1 "suspected Hamas supporter"

Why is UK still not condemning these attacks?

Arguably, they should be blaming Farage - his influence has been setting UK policy for three decades.
31% continue to say Brexit was the right decision, although 68% of Leave voters still believe they made the right choice, that’s still 32% who changed their minds

61% of Britons say Brexit has been more of a failure than success but what/who do they blame?

A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write:

“We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.”

Farage and the Brexit Zealots are only screaming "Betrayal!" not because it's a bad deal, but simply because if it does improve the fortunes of farmers and fisherman, he loses a key argument.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

There has been some excellent research by @hopenothate.org.uk detailing the candidates Reform has put up, that *ahem* have apparently slipped through their robust vetting system.

These seven charmers for example are standing in Doncaster.
