As the 80th anniversary of VE Day approaches, there is no better time to honour the bravery of all those served – past and present. SAS legend Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne embodied that heroism.
His valour and courage during SAS raids from North Africa to France to Italy was vital in the fight against fascism. Recently, I spoke about his bravery in Parliament, where I argued that awarding him the Victoria Cross is long overdue – and rightly deserved.

@RubyFree8 had such fun last night (I think we can tell!) at her sold out Q&A and creative writing workshop at @HeaneyCentre on behalf of @niscifest, talking all things storytelling, illustrating, rewilding, conservation and more.

You’ve heard (and seen) all the hype, now you can learn the truth.
@ScottEdgarni and the @wartimeni team have produced a brilliant @guidltours of Paddy Mayne’s Newtownards
This places the great wartime hero of the SAS in the context of his upbringing, life, service & death. It’s compelling listening. If you’re in Newtownards, do the tour. If you’re not, listen from the comfort of your sofa.
@guidltours - visiting places in audio you’ve always wanted to go.

Monica McWilliams broke the mould in so many ways, as a woman, as an activist and as a politician. In her frank and fascinating memoir, #StandUpSpeakOut she tells her extraordinary story.
