I spoke to Rachel Marsh, the Piddington resident who courageously spoke out against the far right, and has received doxxing and abuse as a result. What does her treatment tell us about where Britain is heading - and what we need to do now? www.thenerve.news/p/rachel-mar...

When climate protesters - some elderly women - lay down in the street, they were jailed: the men of the far right, on the other hand, disperse without being arrested. I talked to @natashawalter.bsky.social about the crackdown on eco-protestors in the UK. www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/dont-lean-in...

Another day, another article about staying out of politics from a Times writer. As so many Times columnists express ever more grim xenophobia, its cultural writers have been busy explaining exactly why politics aren't really that important. Feels political to me. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

I’m convinced… I don’t know what to think

From confusion about our polarised politics to uncertainty over AI, suddenly it’s harder to take a firm stance on anything — and that’s OK

Allison Pearson in the Telegraph is celebrating people who want to shoot asylum seekers. As she says, things could turn dark very quickly. And why is that? Because more and more people are spreading this kind of hate and fear.

Last week for @thenerve.news I wrote about the horrifying shift we are now seeing on the right and in the centre, from climate denial to fatalism. www.thenerve.news/p/natasha-wa... This article today in the Telegraph is an even more shocking example of this amoral fatalism.

Natasha Walter @natashawalter.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Even the Telegraph cannot deny reality any longer. Only last year, Telegraph columnists like Allison Pearson were still doing their ‘just like 1976’ denial. But while denial is out, I fear fatalism is in. Even this column ends with a plea for a rain dance rather than net zero.
