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! 🙏🙏🙏

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

I think this is an excellent idea. I would sign up/set up a DD. Do it.

The nature NGO’s @rspb.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk should be mobilising an army!

Instead they are cowering in trenches with their millions (pounds & members)

We need something new.

A radical, grassroots movement that actually fights for nature.

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 17h

Over the years, our big conservation groups, once brave and radical, have been taken over by suits: people with an Establishment mindset, who identify with the system they should be contesting. They wheedle and appease when they should be fighting with every legitimate tool they have.

Suzy @suzysomebody.bsky.social · 16h

According to polls, at least 30% of UK citizens would vote for fascist Farage in order to 'stop the small boats' and keep England white. However, the majority of people here really dislike Trump, and I am sure many of them would be marching with you. Most people are actually antifa(scist)!

If you are in the UK, this most certainly is your problem. We are only a few goose steps behind the US, and the outcome of their resistance will impact on us heavily.

And if demos like this are so ineffective, why are the Republicans shitting their pants, as they clearly are?

There's also a trend amongst Americans not to have a fucking clue what Communism actually is. The ghost of McCarthy hovers over you all still. Y'all should be more worried about the Neo-Libs.

Vice President JD Vance downplayed the severity of racist texts leaked from a Young Republican group chat, dismissing the criticism as "pearl clutching" and attempting to draw attention to a Democrat texting scandal instead.

Our enemies do not arrive in small boats. They arrive on $400M jets, wearing fake crowns and a cheap false tan.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

What's not mentioned in this article is the impact raised vet fees are having on insurance premiums. The increase in both is preventing people from adopting dogs, which is why Dog Trust set this up: www.dogstrust.org.uk/vsf as well as on the willingness of charities to take dogs with health issues.

My own independent vet has quoted me a staggering £250 for a titre test. Other vets, mostly corporate, have quoted £50-100. I left a corporate vet after their cutting corners led to my dog dying, so I'm no fan. But IMO vet fees for everything should be capped too.

Did she say 'department of defence' there? It is all getting very confusing, eh?

Just one more way to raise the money they would get from taxing wealth.

Suzy @suzysomebody.bsky.social · 1d

Labour get a free ride where I live though, so who I voted for was sort of irrelevant. I'm not sure what I would have done otherwise. I don't think Labour are a step up from the Tories under Starmer.

Suzy @suzysomebody.bsky.social · 1d

That's obviously a lot easier than the C1 one, but I suspect many of the stop the boats racists wouldn't be able to do it.

Suzy @suzysomebody.bsky.social · 1d

I think people saw what they wanted to see because the alternative was more Tory rule. I get that, but I couldn't bring myself to vote for Labour. Same feeling about the Greens. I was a very active member, now they wouldn't even allow me to join, so why would I vote for them? Politically homeless! 😢
