There's not enough words to describe the contempt we should have for a Labour Government who thinks people like this should represent them - let alone cabinet ministers. Where are the MPs with decency and basic humanity? Where are their red lines? Beyond time to speak up.
The Green Party are so far left they’ve lost all perspective of reality, now they seem to be against deporting dangerous foreign national offenders. 🤷♂️ This country has always rejected communism.

I just spent £61 in @NewLook and was told I had to give my email address to get a receipt. That is completely false and totally unlawful. A receipt is a legal requirement when a customer asks for one and it cannot be made conditional on handing over personal data. UK GDPR is

Zohran Mamdani focused on childcare costs to win the race for New York Mayor, and the UK needs to have the same conversation about how no-cost childcare could help more than just parents. Me for @GlamourMagUK: https://t.co/Dg63tAqtCx

Childcare is an election-winning issue, writes Green Party MP Siân Berry for Glamour.

I’m so happy to see this. @johnsweeneyroar 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 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. Here's a sneak peak of John’s film - coming tomorrow only in the Nerve

Really important case - a free & democratic society where people can freely choose their leaders & representatives are core rights protected by the Convention - but unless governments are required to act on them, they remain theoretical 👇

Hey @ZackPolanski I hear you are talking to Laura Kuenssberg tomorrow morning? Can you ask her why this story is being exposed by a 3-week-old-old outlet @thenerve_news & not the BBC?? 🤔
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! 1/

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?

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
The Sentencing Council tried to give ethnic minority criminals more lenient sentences, than their white counterparts. Identity politics will destroy our country. @Conservatives will abolish the Council as part of our plans for Stronger Borders, and tackling two tier justice.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What,

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today. Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded. 😢
Former Brexit Party MEP, Nathan Gill has been arrested for taking ‘Russian-linked bribes’ from Oleg Voloshyn. Here’s Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife

I tried suicide twice and got deep into self-harm before I looked for help. When I finally, did things got better—slowly—but the changes happened. If suicide is even a fleeting thought, please reach out. This site has info on how to call or text someone.

At the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life’s challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you’re facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns…
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. In 2019, I tried to end my own life after being raped and abused. I saw no future. But 6 years later, the man who abused me is behind bars, I’ve been able to make changes for other survivors, and I’m living the life I once dreamed of.

There are very many issues on which Angela Rayner and I disagree. But she is at least an authentic part of the labour movement. That cannot be said of many right wingers who are now delighted by her departure.

@AngelaRayner So sorry to see you go. We see the hypocrisy of the attacks on your life and financial situation. The right-wing media have been intent on holding you to a far higher set of standards than any Tory or Reform MP and 'getting you out'. It stinks of double standards and misogyny

Right wing media has had it in for @AngelaRayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake & has paid heavily for it. Hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics needs more voices like hers

The targeting & killing of journalists in Gaza & the failure of the media to show collective solidarity & to take collective action is…incomprehensible. I feel a such profound sense of shame & failure. It’s not just the death of journalists. It’s the death of journalism. 1/
🚨BREAKING : Three journalists killed in a single Israeli strike; it is now confirmed that one of them is journalist Mariam Abu Daka, who has been documenting the Israeli campaign of extermination from day one.

Just wonderful from Rosen. An ancient Buddhist text comments: 'Disturbed times produce some who, though buffeted by wild waves, move through the deep waters to embrace all who suffer. Even when undergoing fierce suffering themselves, they still extend kindness to others.'

The one certainty in media coverage is that whoever challenges a status quo pulling us towards annihilation – whether from nuclear war or ecological collapse – is going to be smeared as a "narcissist". More from Media Lens: https://t.co/0mWYePJ4VW

If there’s one thing the 'impartial', 'independent' ‘free press’ can’t stand, it’s someone – citizens, journalists, politicians, celebrities, anyone - protesting the West’s wars. The one-size-fits-...
