Mary Wollstonecraft, once mocked as a “hyena in a petticoat”, argued in 1792 that women were rational beings who deserved the same education as men.
The idea was considered revolutionary.
Today she is recognised as one of the founders of modern feminism.

Clinton had us debt-free by 2010. Bush blew it. Obama fixed it. Trump crashed it. Biden fixed it. Trump crashed it again — 92,000 jobs gone last month. Want a good economy? Elect Democrats.

Single Market membership would bring certainty, lower costs and give firs access to customers and supply chains without constant paperwork and delays. It would support growth in goods and services, not just tidy up the margins. This is the pragmatic route back to serious economic Join the Single Market.
The Single Market was responsible for 41% of the UK’s exports in 2024, and remains the largest trading bloc in the world. Rejoining would eliminate trade barriers for most goods and services, control consumer prices, and allow capital, goods and people to move freely.
Ukraine is sending thousands of these drone interceptors to protect US air bases in the Gulf.
The country once told to “say thank you” is now exporting the future of air defense.
Turns out Ukraine had the cards all along.
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

💥 Professor Vernon Bogdanor writes for @financialtimes.com:
"An electoral system should do two things: ensure that the majority rules and that significant minorities are adequately represented.
First Past the Post achieves neither."
Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.

We are on the edge of something even more catastrophic than Trump's attempt to destroy the Middle East. All these munitions in the Middle East and Ukraine are accelerating climate change.
Bye-bye Homo sapiens.

My Victorian grandmother born before the first petrol car was invented lived to see the first man in space & all the inventions that changed her life in between
I don’t think there will be another generation to witness so many changes in their lives
DONALD TRUMP KILLED 170 CHILDREN IN MINAB, IRAN AND THEN POSTED A SIZZLE REEL DECLARING "FLAWLESS VICTORY"
We are the bad guys.
We are the rogue nation we grew up being taught to fear and despise.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
1/ Russian bloggers are waking up to the fact that they live in an oppressive dictatorship with declining living standards. 14 years after Vladimir Putin was reelected as "a strong leader for a great country," commentators are asking: what has Putin ever done for us? ⬇️
I was surprised how few entries there were for Kent considering how close it is to the continent
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
My current enemies are not in Iran, they’re in the Epstein Files.

I am glad I actually watched #BBCQT last night for the contributions from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social & the Shashank Joshi
Barely watch it these days because of the RW bias & hate the way Bruce runs the programme.
I have that name in my tree as marrying a sibling of a direct ancestor in 19C.
Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000.
Exorbitant water bills. One-third covers interest & dividend payments
Companies paid over £85bn in dividends, borrowed billions to pay. Sewage dumped in rivers, fines waived. No bailiff ever sent. No exec punished
For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
What you have left off is no Independent this time & their % last time so your maths doesn’t add up.
Well would you look at that
