The internet isn't just dangerous for girls, with Tir Dhondy
We talk a lot on Standard Issue about how young women are victimised online, but young men are increasingly at risk too. Something terrifyingly obvious in Tir Dhondy's latest investigation, Blackmailed: The Sextortion Killers, now available to watch on BBC3. Hannah chats to Tir about the victims, the perpetrators and what, if anything, can be done to stop it.

The Bush Telegraph: Not just for men!
Credit (albeit reluctant) where credit is due, Donald Trump’s only gone and pulled a blinder. Whether it means long-term peace in the Middle East remains doubtful, but Mick and Hannah are also wondering what’s next for Ukraine. How helpful is the word ‘tomahawk’ to any peace process? There are also – you guessed it – nuns, and a fun-for-some run.

Rated or Dated: To Die For (1995)
Gus van Sant’s black comedy gave Nicole Kidman the opportunity to show her villainous chops to mid-90s audiences. It also took a swipe at a media-obsessed America. But 30 years on, does it feel a bit old hat to modern audiences? What was it trying to say about ambitious women? And bitches – be they crazy?

Lorraine Stansbie and Kate Flannery are Iron Ladies
Iron Ladies is a new documentary about the women of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike, a time in which working-class women who found themselves at the forefront of a battle against the British state. They fast became the backbone of the fight: organising pickets; keeping families fed, and raising cash to continue the strike. As Lorraine Stansbie and Kate Flannery – two of those redoubtable women – tell our Mick, it changed them. And not only them; it’s fair to say their actions reshaped the landscape of political activism for working-class women forever.
Iron Ladies is currently showing in cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
