Well look at this. In rare speech, head of M16 says expulsion of diplomats post-Skripal "significantly degraded Russian intelligence capability". So MI6 is admitting that Alexander Udod - Arron Banks & Andy Wigmore's contact at Russian embassy - was a spy?
theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/d…
Reminded of the last time, Alex Younger made a speech.
...this was intro to @ObserverUk's May '17 Great Brexit Robbery article that laid out links between Trump-Brexit-Russia. Since then, we know US intelligence has worked closely with British intelligence...Mueller indictments show web of links through London
theguardian.com/technology/201…
...Alex Younger, head of M16, made that speech Dec 2016. "It’s not MI6’s job to warn of internal threats," intel analyst told me. "Was it pointed at Theresa May’s government? Does she know something she’s not telling us?" Remember May was head of Home Office - & M15 - in 2016
Here she is dodging @BenPBradshaw's question: did she block investigation into Arron Banks?? Why won't she answer the question?

NEW: The entire BBC news cycle is an abject lesson in the disaster economics of information.

This isn’t just a news story. It’s a teachable example of real-time information collapse. We can’t fix that but we can & must save the BBC.
1/
I wrote this back in Jan. What is happening to BBC is part of a systemic issue: total information collapse.

This is what happens when justified grievance, bad faith actors & Silicon Valley companies converge: erosion of trust in all institutions.

There are sound reasons to criticise BBC. We’re all pissed off with it over something! But our valid critiques are being weaponised by the enemies of democracy.

The BBC is a crucial firewall in a moment of unprecedented danger. Why do you think Russia is joining in?!

NEW: Russian interference case heads to Europe's 'Supreme Court'.

Ex-MPs - @CarolineLucas Ben Bradshaw & @AlynSmith - with @allthecitizens take landmark case to 'Grand Chamber'.

Case claims UK govt in breach of law for refusing to investigate foreign interference.
1/ Image
It's pretty extraordinary timing in a case that has been running since 2020 & publication of Russia Report.

As Gill pleads guilty to taking Russian bribes, why is UK government *still* refusing to investigate Russian interference??

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!

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.

Meet the team.

Voloshyn - the man who bribed Nathan Gill - with his wife, Nadia Sass.

In part 2 of @thenerve_news’s investigation, we reveal their tag team approach.

But the UK police knew all this since at least 2022, the same year they fled to Belarus.

So what gives??

REVEALED: Donald Trump has picked Tony Blair for central role in Gaza ‘peace plan’…

…but in our inaugural investigation for @thenerve_news, we reveal extensive previously unreported links to Israeli defence, media & tech. 🧵

Tony Blair’s Institute has taken nearly half a billion $ from tech billionaire Larry Ellison.

His company Oracle is deeply embedded in Israeli govt & military.

Larry Ellison is a personal friend of Netanyahu.
2/
 thenerve.news/p/tony-blair-i…
In Israel, Ellison’s Oracle partners with Rafael Systems whose weapons are being used in the Gaza genocide & implicated in the deaths of British aid workers.

But that’s just the start…

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/
This is Mariam Abu Daka, one of 3 journalists killed in latest strike, warning that journalists are being deliberately targeted & killed.

‘The Israeli occupation targets journalists because they tell the truth’

She calls for urgent international protection. It did not come.
2/
It is not that there has not been efforts to mobilise a collective response by press freedom orgs, including @RSF_inter, but there has also been silence , denial & cowardice from the prestige legacy outlets.

There’s a reason trust in all media is plummeting.
