@thenightlyau Why should they fear or feel undone. Serving nobly is all that matters. As a military veteran, I served without breaking any codes or laws.

Afghanistan war veterans say they’re collateral damage from the criminal prosecution of decorated war hero Ben Roberts-Smith. thenightly.com.au/politics/austr…

@TimesLIVE The UK should withdraw and leave the USA there. That its seeking the USA’s approval shows its impotence.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office said London would try to persuade Washington to give its formal approval ebx.sh/O8ijGA

@thenightlyau Add ‘save’ to the slip-slap-slop campaign. This tragedy happens when there’s absence of direct supervision. I wager alcohol is playing a part also.

@thenightlyau IMHO the USA is naive. It gives Israel nuclear warheads but wants to make contrary conditions for Iran. Iran says nothing because it already has nuclear warheads. Push Iran and they will use it on Israel without hesitation.

@TimesLIVE Now that will be refreshing!

WATCH | Helen Zille says the DA leader who will be elected at the party’s Congress has the best chance of being SA’s president in 2029.

@TimesLIVE Something is still upsetting these members. Something grave. Tell the public what the reasons. Political interference?

SAA’s comeback story appears to have hit fresh turbulence with the resignation of group CEO John Lamola and three board members. timeslive.co.za/news/business/…

@TimesLIVE Iran is not requesting anything unreasonable. Israel is also a principal belligerent with the USA. Israel cannot be excluded, neither should its should its military actions. Irrespective of anything about Iran, they are correct. Iran has to concede its fuelling of Hezbollah too.

Tehran has thrown the talks into doubt by saying they could not begin without commitments on Lebanon and sanctions. timeslive.co.za/news/world/202…

@News24 They prefer executive authority…avoiding check and balance?

LIVE | DA congress votes against getting a deputy leader brnw.ch/21x1vod

@TimesLIVE Swimming in a pothole translates into fixing it? That’s novel!

DA Johannesburg mayoral candidate Helen Zille says the viral video of her swimming in the pothole was not planned but rather an opportunity to show citizens that the party can fix Johannesburg ebx.sh/qdrCt1

@TimesLIVE So he confirms the DA is not democratic, but autocratic. Quite revealing.

Candidate for DA federal Council chair Werner Horn says he wants the party’s provincial structures to have more of a say in decision making.

@AgBlanken @ConversationEDU @UNSW Excellent!

@Ash274946 @ConversationEDU @UNSW As you seemingly cannot substantiate your point, I will disregard it.

The evidence shows nicotine-based vapes are likely to cause oral and lung cancer. We just don't yet know how many cases it will cause. @UNSW theconversation.com/strongest-evid…

@AgBlanken @ConversationEDU @UNSW You seem to belong to the spoon-fed generation. Do it yourself.

@Ash274946 @ConversationEDU @UNSW Please enlighten us. He who makes the claim needs to provide the evidence!

@AgBlanken @ConversationEDU @UNSW Medical text books are not anecdotal. I won’t force anyone to check them, especially when you are not familiar with them. Not for the uninitiated.

@Ash274946 @ConversationEDU @UNSW Anecdotal evidence is also not science.

@mailandguardian It’s an illegal campaign.

@mailandguardian TanTrump and his ‘Truth Social’ is no match to the flak he receives from the posts being made by Iran.

@TimesLIVE The SACP has had enough, I say. It’s realised that its own standing is being directly impacted by the delinquence that typifies the ANC from its president down.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has conceded that his party has failed to convince its oldest alliance partner, the SACP, from contesting elections on its own. timeslive.co.za/politics/2026-…

@TimesLIVE Ironical. The USA is foremost in possessing a ‘big brother’ disposition, and which typifies their engagements with their own citizens, let alone foreigners.

The rules banned the use of Chinese software and hardware in vehicles on American roads. ebx.sh/KrWrmq

@TimesLIVE Carefully chosen words indeed. There’s other factors to answer still. Claiming she won’t be a witness is not for her to decide. She’s erred, because she’s fearing she’s going to be entangled in the issue.

She denied online speculation that the sex offender had introduced her to Donald Trump. ebx.sh/9ZADa4

@mailandguardian He must get a jail sentence which is not suspended.

EFF ramps up support for Julius Malema: Party structures across provinces are coordinating for supporters expected to gather outside the East London magistrates court, where proceedings will resume before magistrate Twanett Olivier. mg.co.za/politics/2026-…

@TimesLIVE Generational change is inevitable in any organisation. All that remains is for ‘elders’ to bow out gracefully.

Younger candidates are frontrunners for top positions at the federal congress. ebx.sh/tfh5YA
