[St Helena in Focus @sthelenafocus]

It is thought that Napoleon's original death mask was created 205 years ago on 7 May 1821 in the 36 hours following his death at Longwood House on St Helena. It is thought that there are four genuine bronze death masks of Napoleon known to exist.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Never saying sorry is a sign of insecurity, not strength.

When you can admit a mistake, express vulnerability, acknowledge when a decision went wrong, that breeds trust.

When you never do it? You’re hiding something.

The refusal to apologize signals there’s something underneath that can’t withstand scrutiny.

You think you’re projecting strength. You’re projecting fear.

After the Bay of Pigs in 1961 — Kennedy’s first major foreign policy disaster — he stood up and said victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan and he took full responsibility.

His approval ratings went up.

That’s the difference between confidence and insecurity.

The most self-assured people I’ve ever met are the quickest to say I was wrong.

I was honoured to carry the words of His Majesty King Charles III on Artemis II. His reflections on science, responsibility, and what we hold sacred stayed close, all the way around the Moon and back to Earth. @RoyalFamily

@ZiaYusufUK And this is ethical politics how?!

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@F1 Most chilled out sub 3 hour ever?

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@Nigel_Farage So why welcome said Tories into Reform with open arms....

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@AlexBallingerMP 👏

@RobertJenrick What in the Black Mirror is this...

@USAmbUK @Nigel_Farage @POTUS @realDonaldTrump Meanwhile, yesterday credible MPs welcomed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to Parliament, a few months after you welcomed Putin on the red carpet. This post isn't the flex you think it is

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@trussliz I thought you were reflecting on your own gibbering short tenure there for a moment

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@KemiBadenoch @DailyMail This is so out of touch and your comments about RAF pilots just 'hanging around' was truly despicable

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@PennyMordaunt @Daily_Express Completely agree- they have to fix 14 years of Tory mistreatment hollowing out the armed forces, as well as cutting back key capabilities

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@TiceRichard @reformparty_uk Ah.... the same Tories you've not let into your Party?

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@Nigel_Farage And yet you've welcomed in many former Tory MPs and Ministers who were responsible for hollowing out our armed forces... reeks of hypocrisy

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@KemiBadenoch The brave servicemen and women of the Royal Navy deserve a post from you wishing them well without a salty, toxic attempt to point score politically Kemi- of which ultimately backfires due to years of Tory defence cuts. Try to be a little more statesmanly at a time like this

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@jcartlidgemp @KemiBadenoch The Conservative Party decimated our armed forces...

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@jcartlidgemp I'd say no more so than the 14 years of devastating Tory cuts to the defence budget, as well as axing important military assets that were removed well before they became obsolete

[Bletchley Park @bletchleypark]

A reminder... without women, there was no Bletchley Park.

By January 1945, women made up 75% of the workforce, taking on roles across almost every level of the organisation - from operators and linguists to engineers and analysts. Their contribution reflected a wider shift across wartime Britain, where millions of women stepped into vital roles in industry and the armed forces.

Yet despite their expertise and dedication, many faced official and societal scepticism and barriers to progression - particularly in technical and senior positions.

Today, we celebrate their skill, resilience and lasting impact. Discover their stories and the difference they made by visiting Bletchley Park.

@JohnCleese It explicitly refers to the flag as a symbol of flag. You've reposted a Bot account. They are not worse than Truss, who tanked the economy. Good grief.

[History Onz @HistoryOnz]

@ZiaYusufUK And yet you welcome so may former Tory MPs and Ministers in. Seems an odd policy 🤷🏼‍♀️
