@toadmeister He seems to have no understanding that it is China that is the new colonial master of Africa.

Lewis Hamilton says Africa must "unite and take [Africa] back from the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese and the British" – apparently unaware that the British Empire withdrew from Africa 60 years ago. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/05/lew…

@kerinamujati The Chinese will loot everything with the assistance of your puppet leaders.

This is Chipinge, Mt Selinda Road. Not a war zone. Not a disaster area. A gold, and diamond producing province. Manicaland is being stripped bare in broad daylight. Gold. Diamonds. Timber. Tea. Coffee. Everything of value looted, yet the people are left driving through mud like refugees in their own land. The locals do not benefit.The wealth does not circulate here, siphoned away by long, unrepentant hands at the centre of power. There is nothing to show for the stolen wealth. No roads, hospitals, or industry. No dignity. Mnangagwa and his cartel loot the ground, then insult us by handing out cars like sweets at rallies. Cars without roads. Gifts without infrastructure. Lies without shame. Which roads are these vehicles supposed to drive on? This is not incompetence, it is deliberate plunder. This is not governance,it is occupation. Manicaland is not poor. Manicaland is being robbed. And one day, the looters will have nowhere left to hide, because the mud they left us in will expose every stolen step. #edmustgo #manicaland #potholes #saynoto2030

@GermanAmbUK Special year of relations?? You allow Brazilians to use your e-gates but not Brits?

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender have landed in the UK and were welcomed by Their Royal Highnesses The Prince & Princess of Wales. An historic State Visit has begun - the highlight of what has been a truly special year in 🇩🇪🇬🇧 relations.

@GermanEmbassy Why do you allow Brazilians to use your e-gates but not Brits? Friends??

The first German State Visit to the UK in 27 years gets underway tomorrow!

@GregHands @MUC_Airport @GermanyDiplo @GermanEmbassy @GermanAmbUK Please can you go through your contacts and push this story further up. Germany is a disgrace to single out Brits in this manner.

Here’s a helpful lesson from our friends in Ireland 🇮🇪 to Germany 🇩🇪 on how to treat British 🇬🇧 visitors at the border! Compare Dublin, where Brits use the same line (also due to CTA), whereas in Munich @MUC_Airport almost everyone BUT the Brits gets to use the eGates!

@andrewlawrence The honourable member for Telford?

When a Labour MP is asked about grooming gangs...

@DrHelenFry Sorry that everything you fought for has been destroyed.

If you had one message for our WW2 veterans, what would it be?

@carolynharris24 God help UK/NZ.

Delighted to be appointed as the UK Trade Envoy to New Zealand! I look forward to strengthening trade and investment between the 🇬🇧 & 🇳🇿

@SimonCalder Bristol is a joke for both public transport and rip off parking

Worst major city to airport link? I'll start. In Europe, Marseille. In the UK, Bristol. I adore them both as cities, but the rather ramshackle bus links they have to their airports do them no credit. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@daddyhope @nickmangwana @edmnangagwa What the hell must your Chinese masters think of you after watching this performance?

@nickmangwana @edmnangagwa This crocodile only strikes to loot or punish those who expose its looting. Is that something to be proud of, Nick? You boast about being crude while other presidents are busy signing technology transfer deals! You guys are the worst government Zimbabwe has ever had!

“The Crocodile is very patient. But when it strikes, it rarely misses…”President @edmnangagwa

@SimonCalder @LondonAirTravel Was it Honolulu in old days as planes crossed down to NZ/Aus?

@LondonAirTravel Last year I compiled a top five US cities unserved from the UK: Albuquerque Honolulu Jacksonville Memphis San Antonio Do respond with your choices. Meanwhile, a quick quiz: which of those locations was previously served from the UK, direct but not nonstop? independent.co.uk/travel/north-a…

British Airways CEO Sean Doyle says the airline may add further new destinations in North America in the coming years as relatively new routes such as Nashville and Pittsburgh have matured.

@IainDale @MatthewStadlen Tory wet replaced by far left lunatic.

ANNOUNCEMENT: As you will understand I am devastated I can't be at the Fringe this year but I have to put my health first. When I finall realised I wouldn't be able to go, @MatthewStadlen was the first person I thought of to ring and ask to step in. He's a auperb, insightful interviewer and audiences will love him. And thanks to @JamesSeabright @andreicotocu @ThePleasance @EICC for their support, understanding and forebearance. Right, off for an MRI scan!

@DavidLammy @UKLabour Al Jazeera is run by the terrorist loving government of Qatar. Good on Israel for shutting them down just like the Egyptians and UAE did.

It is wrong of Israel to shut down Al Jazeera. The disastrous situation in Gaza makes it more important than ever that journalists are able to report freely. @UKLabour will always stand for the freedom of the press around the world.

@daddyhope Al Jazeera are run by the Qatari government which definitely isn't a democracy plus directly funds Hamas terrorists. There is no comparison to the BBC.

Israel has banned Al-Jazeera from operating in the troubled Middle Eastern country. This is no different from the way Robert Mugabe banned the BBC from operating in Harare, Zimbabwe. The world continues to be tested to see if it is indeed principled or if it is just another Animal Farm where calls for press freedom only apply to regimes not liked by the West. Last month, the Israeli parliament passed a law giving the government power to temporarily close foreign broadcasters considered a threat to national security during the war against Hamas. The very thing that Robert Mugabe said when banning the BBC. The West will be indeed toothless when another dictator bans a Western broadcaster considered to be a “national security” threat to that dictatorship. As democracy dies across the world, the countries that used to stand up for those values are now just bystanders because they don’t have the spine to tell off their allies who are doing bad things and devaluing the very mainstay of democracy: journalism and the media!

@TheLiberal_ie Both Irish and UK govs have no clue what to do but neither do the French/Germans either. Poland/Hungary do a better job!

🚨BREAKING - Please share 🔄 Ireland’s Minister for Justice was interviewed on RTE News and has accepted that the UK doesn’t legally have to take migrants back from Ireland. The flood gates are officially open and this government cannot close them 🤯 Ireland is full and people are angry 🇮🇪 Follow & share #IrelandisFull #IrelandBelongsToTheIrish

@griptmedia Everytime I visit Dublin it has become a little bit more like London.

A man in his 40s sustained serious injuries in a stabbing incident outside the Irish Times office on Tara Street, Dublin. gript.ie/man-seriously-…

@Ben_Scallan We Brits & Irish share lots of things in common including useless governments/opposition parties.

This is getting ludicrous.

@ThoughtsToby It's pass the parcel with migrants. Both UK & Ireland are appalling governments/opposition parties.

The British government is flooding illegal male migrants into Ireland and won’t be taking them back. Sinn Féin has been supporting these action while calling Irish people far right and racist. Sinn Fein is working hand in hand with the British and NGOs to flood Ireland with illegal migrants. #IrelandBelongsToTheIrish

@SimonCalder I expect nothing with Ryanair but they generally get me places on time so no complaints. I use BA for long haul holidays, the only thing that lets them down is the appalling food in both economy and premium. It has got much worse recently.

World's best long-haul airlines, as judged by readers of Which? The top 3 in 1997 and now: Singapore Airlines Emirates Virgin Atlantic A tribute to consistently great airlines. But I dispute BA, Ryanair and Wizz Air being rated among the worst in the world independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@SimonCalder Innsbruck is great but not during winter weekends and is chaotic when poor weather delays flights. Olbia, Sardinia a great airport in my opinion.

How to cope with airports: Small is beautiful. Wait until last at every opportunity. Choose one that is aesthetically rewarding. (My list: Gibraltar, Innsbruck, Funchal - what's yours?) independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…
