I edited my first newspaper when I was 26 in 2014. 11 years on, a lovely surprise to be nominated for the 2025 Editors' Editor Award by The British Society of Magazine Editors for my work at Byline Times. A testament to the entire brilliant team @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Per usual, Trump has lied about every aspect of this. He now says it'll cost 50% more than when he announced it. He now says it'll be much bigger than originally planned. He said he wouldn't touch the East Wing, and he's now demolishing it. He said he would accept input from US agencies, but hasn't.

Every dollar for Trump’s ego is a dollar stolen from working families.

The UK could learn a lesson from how the French deal with corrupt ex-leaders.

We're putting out $25M in grants to train 22,000+ California workers in the skilled trades like construction.
That's on top of the $30M announced last week for apprenticeships in health care, education, and tech.
You shouldn't need a college degree to land a high-paying job.
GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Donald Trump invited Zelenskyy over the weekend to once again try to extort him on behalf of Putin. Zelenskyy didn't back down and stood up for his country. No Trump and MAGA are not isolationists, that's a myth, they are in an open alliance with Russia and Israel.

The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.
The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA
US spy-tech giant Palantir is moving into our NHS to handle patient data, the same company with a troubling record of surveillance and deportations.
Our Tech and Data Lead, Duncan, spoke at Hackney Town Hall as Homerton Hospital considers adopting Palantir software.
What do you think?
This is disastrous on multiple levels. We already have a high level of mistrust & people opting out of sharing will hit medical research so hard. I’d also hesitate to encourage people to share their protected characteristics data to monitor equality & diversity because of the plausibility of misuse.

We are only 3 weeks old (!!) & can only do this work with your support.
And if there was ever a story that proves why Britain needs fiercely independent news outlets, it’s this.

Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.
Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.
We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..

Meet Nadia Sass.
This is the wife of the man who bribed Nathan Gill.
Today @thenerve.news reveals how she was a key part of the Kremlin operation that targeted not just Gill but at least 2 other MEPs and a member of the House of Lords.

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!

The regime wants you to focus on their accounts & narrative, by engaging directly with them you are following their lead. They need the attention you give their trolling / posts to distract you from their actions.
Block them and double down on their actions, the Epstein files, and crimes. #3E

“Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.“

It could become a ‘no go’ country for quite some time. Germany is still dealing with its past. This will hurt the US for at least a century … if it survives.

Trump regime forces brutally beat Americans in the streets of Chicago for witnessing their neighbours be kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. Concerned citizens stood up for themselves as the regime continues to expand its fascist terror campaign.
