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.

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.

Fact of the Day: The Lancaster was painted in white "snow cammo" during winter and could carry upto 7 mini Spitfires which it deployed if it came under attack from baddy warplanes. The mini Spitfires were piloted by dwarves from 7175Sqn

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. 🙄

Eva Clarke BEM was born in Mauthausen concentration camp on 29 April 1945. A few days later, on 5 May, 80 years ago today, American troops liberated the camp.

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:

[Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian @DrHelenFry]

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.
