Hannah's husband demanded sex every day, controlled her daily schedule, and didn't allow her to wear shorts. But what he did when she left him was one of the most horrifying crime's Australia had seen, and it prompted the introduction of the country's first #coercivecontrol laws.

President Trump, thank you for your strong leadership and support of my compatriots. This warning you have issued to the criminal leaders of the Islamic Republic gives my people greater strength and hope—hope that, at last, a President of the United States is standing firmly by

Mass executions of Iranian citizens begin tomorrow - likely by hanging, with some of them in public squares. The 12,000 number is about to rise sharply. Outside intervention is the ONLY way to prevent this.

Monologue from today’s Times at One with Andrew Neil: BETRAYAL And still the revelations about Peter Mandleson’s betrayals from the heart of government come, each one more jaw-dropping than the last.  We learned earlier this week that he’d tipped off his convicted pedophile

It is shocking that Mehdi Hasan would attack Masih Alinejad 🏳️ and call her - and Iranians fighting for freedom - “raging Islamophobes”. Now of all times. A woman seen as a staunch fighter for liberty for women in Iran and such a ‘threat’ to the Islamic regime that they sent
