I wrote this in Nov 2017. Days after FBI revealed multiple strands of Trump-Russia investigation ran through London & I pulled them apart further. It was also when the attacks against me began in earnest. From Cambridge Analytica, LeaveEU & Russian govt

Nov 17 is when it all suddenly got real. That first FBI indictment revealed it was unpicking a whole web of relationships between the Trump campaign & Kremlin. To people who not only had contacts in the UK. But with actual ministers in the govt.
2/
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
The govt refused to answer any questions about its own ministers connections to figures FBI was investigating. One week previously, Johnson was asked if he'd seen any sign of foreign interference. "Nyet," he said. There are multiple reasons that we know this can't be true.

This all happened in summer of 2016. We know these contacts with Trump campaign & Kremlin proxies were taking place in London. We know Wikileaks received material from Russian Intelligence & threw bomb into US election. And who was foreign secretary at the time? Boris Johnson

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??

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.

Nick Clegg made a reported £100m from Facebook. And now the reputation laundering begins.

Congrats to him on this magnificent PR coup. Nicely played, Clegg. A glossy magazine profile AND extract in the paper that created the Facebook PR crisis that led to his hiring.

1/ Image
It’s an abject reminder of how mainstream outlets are played by Silicon Valley, by the cosy rules of access journalism & the genre framing of the celeb interview.

Clegg never submitted to a proper interview in his time at Facebook & now gets to spin & whitewash & conceal all while still under a FB NDA.
2/
I understand why this was commissioned. The need for a culturally relevant ‘name’. The fact that many people will ‘hate-read’ it. It will get traffic.

But it also reinforces an impression that so many people have that the media is broken. Clicks & traffic & holding power to account are such competing incentives.

Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me.

So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!!

Huge kudos to super producers @RuthAbrahams5 of Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring & @GeorgiaJCatt & @ByrnesyGsy for Stalked.

Plus the brilliant & brave Hannah Mossman-Moore & Sergei Cristo 👏 👏 👏. Both FEARLESS in completely different ways.

2/bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
But mostly, thanks for listening... & in Sergei's case for crowdfunding it. Incredible to be nominated alongside all the big companies for our indie DIY affair. Thanks also to @peterjukes for galvanising & dramaturgy.

And to BBC Sounds for being so punchy in naming Hannah's stalker
