Picture of Nathan Gill arriving at court. Headline: Reform UK and Russian Bribes. A Nathan Gill Timeline.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.

We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

"One billion dollars!!!"

Awww thank you - thanks for listening and for the lovely kind words! Hope you're well xx

Andrew: The Royal formerly known as Prince.

A bit off topic - but is there a way to start having these associations named properly so as to represent who they actually represent? Free Speech Union, LGB Alliance, Tax Payers Alliance and For Women Scotland for example talk for tiny minorities in the groups they claim to in their titles.

Celebrity Traitors is what I imagine a weekend at JK Rowling's mouldy house must be like while she figures out who's not been cunty enough to a trans person in the last six months.

🤣🤣🤣 I will tell you this boy, she was some chanter! Some chanter! 🤣🤣🤣

At what stage of the menopause am I at when the waft of a McDonald's chicken nugget took me straight to 1991 and unlocked all the lyrics to Beverley Craven's "Promise Me" and now I'm sitting greeting and sooking on a mint Aero?

This morning I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice @angelaconstance.bsky.social MSP to register our concern over plans by the Home Secretary to provide new protest policing powers to police forces in England and Wales and to ascertain if the CabSec intends to mirror this in Scots law.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

The Nigel Farage who wrote this about Charlie Kirk's murder will be furious at the Nigel Farage who made Lucy Connolly a star of the Reform conference

I'm pretty sure there's folk in Scotland would do the same thing if they had a suitable "excuse" - it's so thoroughly depressing.

Are you drinking with Arnold Brown?

Such a man of the people - he'd know that Channel 4 haven't shown horse racing since 2016. Total fraud.

Nigel Farage shows himself a fraud challenging Starmer to join him in a Working Man's Club for a pint and watch Channel 4 Racing. Channel 4 hasn't shown horse racing since 2016.

Reform UK Facebook Groups Are Full of Racist Far Right Posts and Islamophobic Conspiracy Theories Groups set up by Reform UK officials contain posts calling for Muslims to be lynched and suggestions that Jewish people are trying to "dilute out country with foreign invaders"

It would be good if at least some of the energy poured into scrutinising hateful past comments by Irish hiphop groups could be focused on what is currently going on inside the main party currently leading all of the UK opinion polls bylinetimes.com/2025/04/30/r...

We'd also like to see messages or signs from employers or service providers that stop trans people using single sex spaces.

Watching the Pope lying in state to get a swatch at the Italian men going by. "Ciao gallina!"

Yes! Old Saabs! Which are gorgeous things of beauty. Probably right hanging off hoping for a product placement deal for something shiny and new.

Can anyone tell me the reason behind this trend on telly drama for the main protagonist driving a wildly out of date motor vehicle? The boxy Volvo estate of the 70s and 80s seems to pop up a lot, for example Black Mirror and Fear. But it seems to be there's an epidemic of auld motors on the telly.

Is me! I am very, very grateful to the many amazing people – musicians, music fans, grassroots groups and more – who were so generous with their time and wisdom. And I'm very grateful to the people saying nice things about it.

Aww congratulations and happy publication day Carrie! ❤️

This is an excellent article - I have some additional thoughts from a feminist perspective on the consequences of this Supreme Court judgment, rather than just my legal ones:
