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! 🙏🙏🙏

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

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, Michelle?

For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?

For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?

For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients?

For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency?

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.

Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.

How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?

You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life.

Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.

PPE Medpro must repay £122m for supplying defective PPE

But it doesn’t stop with Baroness Mone. When will the ministers who referred their cronies onto the VIP Lane face consequences?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

“The NHS needs every doctor it can get. But we now inhabit a world where doctors are unemployed. It’s madness. Please, @wesstreeting, do not be the health secretary in post while doctors are unemployed & signing on with Uber shifts. You do not want to be that person. Any health secretary in that position is doing something terribly wrong.”

Did you know 20,000 young NHS doctors face not getting a training post this summer?

That some are already unemployed - when the NHS needs every doctor it can possibly get.

@DHSCgovuk needs to fix this immediately, now - it's a workforce debacle of monumental proportions & it's harming our patients.

Thank you @lspencerelliot & @Independent for covering this hugely important issue today.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY @SouthWestWater

You know all that nonsense about WCs being transparent and accountable? Well guess what, it's all rubbish.

Take this example, South West Water. Here's what their current sewage dumping in Cornwall looks like when viewed on independent site https://t.co/nnxGU2zKr3 This is what's going on this morning.

Yet when you look at SWW's website at the same scale you see nothing, just a nice picture of where the local bathing beaches are.

Cynical old SWW have deliberately programmed their website so you can't ever see any sewage dumping at all until you zoom right in to a very, very local level, at no point do you get to see the full scale and extent of the sewage dumping they're currently get up to on their website.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY!

We spent years doggedly uncovering the government’s cronyism during the pandemic, including Michelle Mone's dodgy dealings.

Now she’s facing the High Court.
About time.

I just spoke with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. We’re both determined to strengthen the trade, security, and economic relationship between Canada and the U.K.

At this consequential time for our nation, partnerships with long-standing, reliable allies matter more than ever.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

The UK needs to integrate with the EU fast along with Canada to create a sane economic bloc - and then launch a big reflationary economic package . And do it fast - really fast. The world needs leadership.

This week we joined forces with 58 of our supporters in a High Court legal action against Nigel Farage’s far-right Reform UK.

What are they doing with people’s data?

Michael Heseltine has shown time and time again he’s on the right side of history.

Brexit was sold on a bed of lies and dark money.

It is time for @Keir_Starmer to represent the majority by getting growth, prosperity and security back by rejoining the EU.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Following yesterday's announcement that a staggering, recording breaking 3,614,428 hours worth of sewage had been dumped into the environment.

Here's what that actually looks like.

Massive thank to the @WATERSHED_i team for the brilliance.

Nigel Farage received help with speaking engagements, political meetings, media appearances and travel from Capital HQ – a firm run by a former spokesperson for the far-right agitator Steve Bannon.

Shouldn’t he have declared that? We’ve reported him:

The thing about Rule of Law is it applies to everyone or no-one

The second thing about Rule of Law is if you don’t agree with a decision then you appeal it, you most certainly don’t attack the judge for applying it

The third thing about Rule Of Law is without it, you have chaos

I’m glad to have been asked to sign Ed Sheeran’s letter to the Prime Minister calling for a significant investment in music education in state schools

Music does far more than contribute billions to the U.K. economy and we’re in danger of losing a generation of talent
