The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

This one's spectacular. In the 1960s, London's Mews were still being used to keep horses. This clip spoils us with a lovely glimpse of the people, pubs, and lifestyle among the cobbled backstreets that have since become expensive housing. They certainly had more personality then than nowadays. @Britains___Pubs

JK Rowling has just written a beautiful essay that I will link to below. This paragraph holds no punches:

“Large numbers of women who’ve never been poor, who’ve never worked the kind of job where they’d be vulnerable to predatory men and who’ve never needed a r*pe crisis centre have spent the last few years vilifying members of their own sex for fighting to retain their hard-won rights and single-sex spaces, in ways that have shocked and disgusted me. I freely confess that I feel an extra layer of abhorrence for any woman who claims to be a feminist while doing it.”

I wrote a new piece about women’s rights and whether or not I want trans people dead. (Spoiler: I don’t)👇

🇺🇦🤝🇻🇳 Ukraine extends its sincere gratitude to the Government and people of Vietnam for providing a new package of valuable humanitarian assistance to Ukraine totalling 500,000 dollars @MOFAVietNam.

We deeply appreciate this meaningful gesture of goodwill, compassion and solidarity with the Ukrainian people during these challenging times. Particularly timely ahead of winter.

This move reflects the longstanding friendship, mutual respect, and understanding between our two nations. We highly value Vietnam’s contribution to humanitarian efforts aimed at assisting those in need and alleviating human suffering.

We are confident that this support will further strengthen the traditionally friendly relations between Ukraine and Vietnam and contribute to deepening bilateral cooperation for the benefit of our peoples.

In a nutshell

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

'Let’s take the three subjects Ms Gilruth mentioned in turn: firstly, “a Scotland in which women are silenced”. The deputy first minister provided no examples, but let me. Twice, I went to attempts by a group of women to screen a documentary about women’s rights, Adult Human Female. The first time, it couldn’t go ahead because of a large group of protesters and the second time, it went ahead but only thanks to heavy security. I spoke to both sides and the women trying to screen the film couldn’t have been less right-wing if they’d tried, and the protesters who were trying to silence them were absolutely of the Left, not the Right.' https://t.co/RF7xdYiIJY

He is one of the most contemptible men in public life, in a league with Jeffrey Donaldson.

Imagine the courage it takes for a woman to report sexual violence, knowing how often women are disbelieved, scrutinised and retraumatised, only to watch a man accused of such crimes publicly cast himself as the victim, sermonising about sin, grace and dignity while his trial is under way. I know this from working in Women’s Aid and Rape Crisis.

This is precisely why so many women never report rape or sexual assault. They have seen how easily men can deny, deflect and demand sympathy, while the women who come forward are left to bear the cost.

I have nothing but contempt for men like Russell Brand, who seem to have no shame about turning their own public disgrace into another opportunity to demand an audience’s sympathy. Ugh.
