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?

So you've got a Canadian "journalist" covering the trial of an Irish citizen, who lives in Spain and whose costs are being covered by a South African born migrant living in the United States.

Break out the flags lads....

Wow, enjoy. Lucky to have taken my mum & wife to see Macca about 20 years ago in Sheffield. Mum and dad saw The Beatles quite a few times at The Cavern growing up in Liverpool- so lucky! Still miffed someone stole my triple vinyl copy of Wings over America from a party at my house in the 80's 🤬

"The activist had arrived alone at the Channel tunnel in a silver Bentley belonging to a friend and was on his way to the Spanish resort of Benidorm with more than £13,000 in a small bag, the first day of the trial at Westminster magistrates court heard."

What a fucking Grifter !

Worth remembering by the time Farage first appeared on Russian TV Alexander Litvinenko had been poisoned in UK dying in agony, along with 13 other suspected Russian hits..

Yet Farage the “patriot” jumped into bed with them❗️

Patrick - Here for the craic 👍🏼 @patrickopatrick.bsky.social · 2d

When Farage and I were growing up (similar age) Russia was the enemy, we were both in cadets, Russia was the Army’s foe

Villains in Movies & books were Russian.. those who helped Russia were traitors

Since 2010 Farage has been on Russian TV at least 17 times talking the West down
#FaragePutinsPet

Nigel Farage's relationship with Russian media comes under scrutiny

The Ukip leader's Euroscepticism makes him a shoo-in at the Russian state broadcaster that is often called Putin's mouthpiece

Along with small boats, increased food prices, shortage of drugs, we have this to thank Nigel Pharage's Brexit for.

Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 2d

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.
