🚨🇪🇺 Brexit WOW moment 🇪🇺🚨

The Brexitgraph Telegraph published a full-blown obituary for Brexit:

📉 GDP down 8%
📉 Investment down 18%
📉 Productivity down 4%
📉 Employment down 4%
❌ No trade benefits
❌ No regulatory freedom
❌ No upside whatsoever

Do you agree it’s time to end Brexit?

Good morning.

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.

That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.

Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

I am going to put this very bluntly because there is no point in beating around the bush. They lack intelligence, and shunned the education that might have benefitted them, through laziness and a dislike of anyone cultured in any way. And they are perfectly happy that way.

I’m so happy to see this.

@johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social is one of our own. Like @thenerve.news he’s an old Observer hand. Later at BBC he did everything, but in 2018, he found himself blocked from one particular subject…Russia & Brexit.

Please give him a hand…Sweeney’s coming home 👏👏👏
Sorcery in Caerphilly:
@johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social visits the Welsh valleys on the trail of a Russian spy, his wife, a Reform politician taking bribes, party leader Nigel Farage and a vanishing by-election candidate.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

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

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏

Gary Lineker is a good man, a national treasure, a role model.

Being forced out of MOTD because he’s horrified by war criminals murdering kids (in a war the BBC refuses to cover without fear or favour) is enraging.

The BBC allows free speech, but only if you’re right wing.

Last week, the new owners of the Observer wrote to tell me they would *not* be issuing me with a new contract. 🤷‍♀️

So...I want to say publicly that it was an absolute privilege to speak on behalf of my Observer colleagues during our strike. I don't regret doing so. And I learned so much from it.

NEW: Explosive new revelations from ex MI6 spy.

Why *did* Boris Johnson block the publication of the Russia Report before 2019 Gen Election?

Finally some answers..

Russian military intelligence - the GRU - targeted the Brexit vote.

NEW: Episode 7 - Chemical Attacks.

This episode should actually blow your mind. There’s been a lot about Boris Johnson & Evgeny Lebedev but it’s the meeting with his father, the ex-KGB colonel that you need to pay attention to…
