Let's remember Michael Collins was alone for over 20 hours on #Apollo11 and orbited the moon 14 times, so was alone on the dark side for 14x40 minutes! And sitting in a tin can compared to #Artemis! @bbcnews

Heartbreaking moment, but powerful. Look at Kosar Eftekhari. The Islamic regime shot her eye out and blinded her during the Women, Life, Freedom revolution. Now she is in Germany, shocked that people there defend the same regime, the same IRGC. She’s asking them: Who are you defending? She shows them her eye, see what they did. Why defend them? I’ve known Kosar since she was a teenager in Iran, part of my #WhiteWednesdays campaign against forced hijab. She’s a hero, not a victim but here she cries from the pain of watching the very people who shot her and killed thousands of innocent Iranians being praised in the West. And I’m just as shocked when I see that the relatives and children of those who blinded her are living luxurious lives in Europe and America. @kosareftekharii

@OkayBiology Would this be some sort of clash with the EHRC ruling/guidance on single-sex spaces? @SexMattersOrg

Labour's new digital ID cards won't say if the cardholder is male or female.😳 Therefore they can never be used as a way to keep men out of women only spaces in the future. 🙄 #TaggingTheIsland

Thousands of young Europeans are set to explore the continent this summer with free rail passes funded by the European Union – but British teenagers will once again miss out. Those Brexit benefits...

@spikedonline Indeed. Even babies know better. @VictoriaPeckham

We must admit it: Britain is no longer beautiful. Our lives are overshadowed by characterless office blocks and imposing slabs of concrete. We have lost interest in beauty, but at what cost?, asks James Dixon buff.ly/xnFuKTA

Tom and Dom will be pleased to note it’s quite possible to visit Dr Johnson’s House and the Samurai at the British Museum on the same day. Overdosing on @TheRestHistory as usual. @holland_tom @dcsandbrook

The NHS won’t take things back. We had boxes of bandages, unopened medications and creams etc when my grandmother died. We offered to take it all back and they refused. We ended up giving it all to a private nursing home. Ridiculous.

91 asylum seekers are housed in the Mercure Hotel near Dumfries, Scotland. Now teenage schoolgirls are being given rape alarms because there are reports that the men are harassing them and taking photographs of them. The local council have talked about “buffer zones” around the hotel. Surely that is not the answer. If you need buffer zones then you have the wrong people in the hotel. Everywhere you go, these gangs of young men are sitting around, playing on their phones and hassling girls and women.

The jokes just write themselves!

@Alwaysaslave27 @Carm5012 @Simmons__ No. 'Someone else' is the other visitors. Unlikely that the business will choose to lose money, so will hike prices for full-paying customers.

Is this fair?

"Bad news for hot chocolate lovers...Cadbury's Hot Cocoa contains no chocolate. Their 3.5% label is cut with so much Ammonia, it can't legally qualify as real chocolate." "One of its ingredients is E471"...a legal food additive linked to 48% increased cancer.

brilliant ad. You don't need to understand a word of Polish to enjoy it.

@IratusVindicta @jo_bartosch No words for 'social harassment' in the local language 🤔

@jo_bartosch Somebody better check up on that woman next week to see if she is still alive, or at least unharmed

What a woman! Love this

Fascinating exchange with @piersmorgan, this, from a little while back Remember: TV doctor, Dr Amir Khan is also a practicing GP working for @NHSEngland He appears to have a problem accepting women’s sex based rights. Or even accepting female biology

A reminder that it has now been 217 days since the @EHRC sent @bphillipsonMP its draft guidance on single-sex spaces. But she has yet to table it in parliament.

It looks like Dylan wasn't good enough to do a full run on Six. 🤔

That looks non-violent in the way the law in the good law project is good.

Nearly two thirds of Brits would vote to rejoin the EU in new referendum, poll shows. New polling from #YouGov has found that 63% of Britons would vote to rejoin the European Union if a fresh referendum were held today. #Brexit #RejoinEU #Breturn #EU #UK thedailybritain.co.uk/brits-would-vo…
