Gordon Brown has just become my hero after speaking to @bbcnickrobinson on BBCR4 about the plight of girls and women in Afghanistan under the Taleban. Calling for the international criminal court to rule the treatment of women in Afghanistan as a crime against humanity.

Religious extremism spreads like a pandemic, and women are always the first casualties.

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

In the 1960s, Afghan women studied alongside men at Kabul University. Today, Afghanistan is the only country where girls’ education is illegal. It has been 705 days since the Taliban banned women from universities.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Kamala Harris claimed the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan a great success. The military equipment left behind is attracting Islamist terrorist organisations. The deal caused the horrific gender apartheid making women’s lives impossible what is her plan to resolve this?

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

The U.S.-Taliban deal was a win-win for both side, but it’s the 20 million Afghan women who pay the price. Trump is proud of the deal, Kamala backs the chaotic withdrawal, and the Taliban celebrates defeating the U.S., all while Afghan girls cannot go to school.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret I consider myself an ethical capitalist. Profit enables a company to create products and services, hire more people, pay taxes, generate returns for shareholders. Kingspan, Saint Gobain have been wholly unethical and they should be charged with manslaughter and be forced to pay

“‘Women can have jobs, become prime minister.’

This is on the record from Taliban, across the table, telling us. But they were lying…When they came to power first thing they did—they banned women from secondary school…Because they are afraid of women.”

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

The Taliban’s promise of an inclusive government is mere propaganda. They fundamentally reject the democratic principle that political legitimacy comes from the will of the people and free elections. Their power structure is a sham.

@DalrympleWill I was delighted to find out that you are coming to Ely for your book launch. I'll be there and I have pre-ordered a copy of The Golden Road

@DalrympleWill I am a keen follower of your Empire Podcast which I think is brilliant. I have read The Last Mughal which I consider the best written history book I have read. I think the last chapter should be essential reading for everyone!

“Just as education for girls is banned, questioning it is also banned” —Taliban Minister of Education.

Afghanistan is a living dystopia, yet the world turns a blind eye. Girls’ education faces permanent erasure. The world fell for their false promises. It’s time to WAKE UP.

[Olga Travlos @Omt997]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret I was shaken by what Jess Phillips had to say in her acceptance speech. What happened when she shook the hands of the other candidates? I am told that a Muslim candidate refused to shake her hand as she is a woman. Is this true? If so, why is it not getting coverage?

This makes me sick to my stomach.

How can we allow women to be “stoned to death in public” in 2024? The world’s silence is deafening. Where is the humanity?

We can’t let the Taliban do this to the women of Afghanistan. Time to speak up!

915 days since Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school in Afghanistan - the ONLY country in the world.

As the new academic year begins, 330,000 more girls can't go to school. A total of 4 million banned from school since Taliban return.
