To the utter dismay of a beleaguered prime minister, Labour predecessor Gordon Brown has gone for the jugular, leaving Tony Blair, the promoter (and frequent rescuer) of Mandelson's career gawping on the sidelines. What a fitting way for the destructive New Labour project to be extinguished. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.' Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others? I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue. When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.' Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.

One of Antonov Airlines’ An-124 aircraft, which had been at the factory as of February 24, 2022, flown from Kyiv to Leipzig today. After surviving near-occupation, enduring countless air raids on the city, and undergoing extensive repairs and certification of its upgraded modification this heavy lifter is now back in the skies and ready to work again.

Oleksandr and Davyd, two brothers from Rivne, have electrified the Internet with their rock covers, amassing millions of views. Their cover of Metallica's Master of Puppets - performed with their friend Kyrylo - resonated far beyond Ukraine, even catching the eye of Metallica, who shared the video on their official channel. 🎥: sasha_i_david/TikTok

Those that fell for this blatant act of Russian propaganda are so profoundly stupid, they should be issued a crash helmet and a 'Caution: Easily Confused' sign. 🙄

When European unity becomes inconvenient, disinformation goes so far as to make a simple tissue look like drugs. This fake news is being spread by France’s enemies, both abroad and at home. We must remain vigilant against manipulation.

Mary O’Shaughnessy used her own money to rescue 25 Allied soldiers needing to escape Nazi-occupied France in WW2. Betrayed to the Gestapo by a French traitor, she was sent to Ravensbrück & emerged as one of the few British survivors of the camp. This is her story: (🧵)

She was once described as ‘the greatest woman intelligence officer in the world’ and was nicknamed the ‘Queen of Spies’! From briefing Jedburgh teams in WW2 to outsmarting the KGB in Moscow, she destroyed gender norms. This is the fearless 40-year career of Daphne Park: (🧵)

For 20 years.. yes a full 20 years the IOC did nothing to stop East Germany doping its athletes - resulting in GDR females (because illegal testosterone made a huge improvement in their performance, on average 9% in their own documentation, obtained after the wall came down) to utterly dominate swimming, rowing & track. Cheating thousands of women around the world out of their just & fair rewards. Also letting down those young East German girls, used as lab rats. All now with medial complications. SO..It’s no surprise the IOC still doesn’t care about fair or safe sport for their female athletes. By removing sex screening against the wishes of 84% of all polled female athletes it allows biological males to enter the female category of Olympic sport & rob another generation of their rightful prizes & recognition. This has to stop …womens sport is for biological females. Half the world. We deserve our own male free category & equality of sporting opportunities, just like biological males still get.

“A draft dodging president berating a war leader for standing up for his country, a vice president who knows nothing about Ukraine, couldn’t even find it on a map.” Trump and Vance’s treatment of Zelensky at the White House was “deeply upsetting”, says @AFNeil.

ok, let's go to the basics 1. Are Ukrainians thankful for U.S. support? - Of course, immensely. 2. Would we have collapsed in a few weeks without support in 2022? - No, as the decisive force of the resistance was how society reacted and courageously engaged in resistance. Additionally, there were still a significant amount of Ukrainian and old Soviet weapons in 2022. However, U.S. assistance, including javelins, did play a significant role. 3. Are Ukrainian cities in ruins? - Some of them are, yes. Some others are occupied, with Russian torture chambers inside. -- However, most of them are not, as cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, and others, were bravely defended. Furthermore, thanks to allies' support, including America, we have air defense that has been very helpful. 4. Do Ukrainians want peace? - Yes, immensely. More than anyone else. -- Will they accept the Russian vision of peace as an occupation (or future occupation) or undermining Ukrainian sovereignty? - No. 5. Is any peace deal possible without Ukraine? - No. 6. Does Zelenskyy have "cards" in his hands? - Yes, he has Ukrainian resistance and support from allies. 7. Do Ukrainians come to America to teach Americans how to feel? No, of course not. But we do want to share how we feel. Being at war for so many years is a feeling that needs to be heard. It's about empathy and being human. -- We also want to share what we think, because we know Russia much better than anybody else. 8. What is strength? -- Strength is not about humiliating the weaker. Strength is about supporting the weaker and challenging the stronger. This is where Christian values and human rights values coincide. 9. Will we have a chance to fix our relationship? - We certainly hope so. Ukrainians are thankful and respectful, but we are not a "thing" to talk about. We are the owners of our future, and we have proven our agency and subjectivity many times in the past decades. by @ukraine_world
