More words on last month’s Nomad Games for Meduza I’m so invested I’m considering competing in Kyrgyzstan 2026…. Horses, Hyundais, and headless rubber goats: A dispatch from the 5th World Nomad Games — Meduza meduza.io/en/feature/202… через Meduza

Horses, Hyundais and headless rubber goats - my daughter Ailis Halligan’s report on the extraordinary World Nomad Games in Astana, Kazakhstan.

‘Russia isn’t winning through clever. It’s winning through brute strength, volume, mass. The Ukrainians are outgunned, they are outmanned.’ Luke Harding of Guardian news on the brutal reality of 🇷🇺’s war in 🇺🇦, in fascinating conversation with Sir Laurie Bristow Hughes Hall

OSCE office of Human Rights condemns police violence in #GeorgiaProtests which includes tear gas, pepper spray infused water canons, beating, kicking, rubber bullets, and over 100 arrests last night by security forces. Journos being targeted in particular

#GeorgiaProtests spreading throughout the country. Batumi on the Black Sea and also Kutaisi, the Georgia's 2nd city, in the west

Very proud to work for a women’s college Cambridge University and for Dorothy Byrne, who - thankfully - pulls no punches #womenofacertainage

In memory of Alexei Navalny, who died a year ago today. Our thoughts are with his family and friends ⁦Yulia Navalnaya⁩ ⁦#Navalny

Thank you ALASTAIR CAMPBELL for sharing my daughter Ailis Halligan’s interview with Georgia’s fifth president, Salome Zourabichvili. Enjoyed the discussion with Pres Zourabichvili on The Rest Is Politics with Rory Stewart

Great to see my first book featured here - thank you Aspects of History! An individual featured in The Empress and the English Doctor is the subject of my second book - I like having a “handhold” from one book to the next #WomensHistoryMonth

Shame on you The Independent This horrific killing was committed by a man.

The BBC effectively lying here to its readers that the accused in this case is a woman, rather than a man who identifies as female. Simply not good enough from our national broadcaster, which appears captured by a controversial minority ideology. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A revolution in public opinion. 2025 and 2020. Thank you to all the women (and some men) including all the anons, who’ve been working so hard, often at great cost, to raise awareness of the erosion of their rights and boundaries. Compare and contrast these two YouGov polls.
