Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

🔴🚨 • Michael Oliver has been appointed as the referee for Liverpool vs Manchester United at Anfield, for the third season in a row.

Last season’s performance? Shambolic.
The one before that? Even worse. #MUFC

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! 🙏🙏🙏

Any time anyone makes this point I think it is entirely valid to point out that the current Prime Minister of the UK appointed a man who maintained a friendship with a convicted child sex trafficker as US ambassador to the UK while ignoring and overruling warnings about doing so.

Unfortunately, when you look closely, he’s a total loon.

How can anyone expect evidence-based policy from someone who once claimed he could hypnotise women into having bigger breasts?

It’s apparently very rare for a politician to have both a heart and a brain…

Imagine a nonsense story pushed by the sun and now regurgitated by the right wing, being the worst they can dig up about him. Ties to Russia, cosying up to pedophiles, that's not where you draw the line?

"Palestine activists who were reading the names of all the people killed in 2 years in Gaza. The reading, which was done in order of the ages of the deceased from youngest to oldest, began at 7am and, by the time the march reached it at about 1.45pm, still had not finished the names of toddlers."

After weeks of Reform distancing itself from Nathan Gill, Nigel Farage finally admits he's known him 'for a very long time'

Farage has admitted he knew Gill for 'a very long time' but claims he didn't know anything about his pro-Russia activities...

with the finances behind them they could spend the next 3 years trimming the party into a nazi suit and bury all the negativity that takes a lot to even get their base outraged. Greens offer hope and a workable alliance with YP could build something

I get the disassociation with labour, I doubt I'll ever vote for them again but I just cant fathom the mental gymnastics it takes to see Farage as a decent alternative, not politician or part of "the elite"

trust me you can bring this up to MAGA or the UK equivalent branch and they don't care. They're so far gone, "I've been told it was just saline they used to fool you" but I thought they were our saviours? *brain melts* "you have no immune system now you idiot, the annunaki are coming!"

You mean he's not going to stop the boats by maybe "building a wall" (sounds familiar) and then just leaving us all to live a utopian life?
