The Prime Minister rises to the global political moment and gives a speech of intelligence, insight and gravity.
Unfortunately for Britain, it's a different Prime Minister.

The first crash test dummy specifically based on a woman’s body is here.
Developers say it will deliver more detailed data automakers need to address the specific risks women face, including a greater chance of lower leg injuries or dying in a crash.
