@JeunguraKahungi @TheNamibian It wasn't going to be free you know.

@TheNamibian We are doomed to forever dwell in poverty. We could have had internet access over 100% of our territory. But because we are stupid people led by stupid people we will have to continue using internet techno from the 20th century while the rest of the world blazes past us.

BREAKING NEWS ... The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (Cran) has declined the application of billionaire Elon Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink to operate in Namibia. Cran spokesperson Mufaro Nesongano confirmed this on Monday following the Government Gazette of 23 March. "The authority resolved to decline the award of a class comprehensive telecommunications service licence for Starlink Internet Services Namibia (Pty) Limited," the gazette reads. Update: Martin Endjala

@jennifer_h3134 I don’t like Farage and would never vote for him but the comparison between him and Lowe is spot on .

Nigel Farage is a true leader that meets people in person, not some unhinged bitter fool that posts rubbish all day on X.

@paulhyid @DebBrSpence @RupertLowe10 @heidiEC5 @Jacob_Rees_Mogg You really really can and people often have. Don't let a fake accent fool you

@DebBrSpence @RupertLowe10 @heidiEC5 @Jacob_Rees_Mogg I know sometimes he cracks me up..he's a good man tbh and knows his stuff..you can never out debate mogg

I am pleased to have Jacob Rees-Mogg’s support for my legal action against an administrative body related to Parliament - my argument is aimed at empowering elected MPs over unelected officials. On Tuesday 17 March my Barrister, Christopher Newman, and I were in the Administrative Court in London at a hearing in front of High Court Judge Martin Chamberlain. It is a significant case for the power of parliament, and therefore the power of the voters. As the MP for Great Yarmouth, I am seeking to challenge the legality of the processes of the ‘Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme’, also known as the ICGS - importantly, it is entirely legally separate from Parliament. The scheme’s genesis is driven by the ‘Me Too’ movement in 2018. The ICGS are seeking to use the doctrine of ‘Parliamentary Privilege’ to assert that they are, in effect, beyond the scrutiny of the law. Parliamentary privilege exists to allow MPs to do our job away from legal threats, it does not exist to protect bureaucratic bodies. As Jacob Rees-Mogg, former Leader of the House of Commons, points out in his analysis: “As the ICGS is independent, it cannot in its workings be a Commons body, as it would then not be independent. It is really very straightforward and Rupert Lowe seems to be right." This is arguably the most significant constitutional case in years with the ICGS now arguing the polar opposite of the position the state took in the case of R v Chaytor where MPs unsuccessfully tried to use Parliamentary Privilege to avoid prosecution for abuse of expense claims. ICGS staff are not legally qualified, and this administrative body is outside the orbit of the Chamber and has no link to MPs. It has not reported to a Parliamentary Committee of MPs since 2020 when all links were severed and a panel was inserted. It is our argument that this body cannot claim to be above the law - it is not right that a bureaucratic body separate from Parliament is attempting to use parliamentary privilege, designed for elected politicians, to avoid reasonable scrutiny. Rees-Mogg ends his article: “Thus if Lowe wins, he will not have harmed Parliament, but defended it. For through cowardice we – and I was an MP at the time – abdicated our privileged responsibility and gave it to unelected boffins, who are not so much better than elected politicians after all, but much harder to eject.” We expect a Judgment after Easter, around 14 April 2026.

@DJW1991 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci You clearly haven't met any businessmen if you think that's how a business man acts.

@NJB781 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci Not sure that’s how it works but thanks. Still irrelevant to the original point that he acts like a businessman not a traditional politician

Let me tell you exactly how Trump thinks. He operates unilaterally. He thinks he’s smarter than everybody. When his advisors told him Iran might close the Strait or attack our allies he said — they're not going to do that. And then he had to admit to the press that he did not expect Iran to launch missiles at a 9 to 1 ratio against our allies versus Israel. Let's be honest about what actually happened. He went in unilaterally. Didn't sell it to the American people. Didn't consult our NATO allies. We have 25 years of evidence that we’re not good at regime change. We went from the Taliban to the Taliban. We spent 20 years and trillions of dollars and came full circle. We went from Khomeini to Khomeini in less than a Scaramucci. The biggest brain in the room couldn't see that coming.

@DJW1991 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci Just look things up. Such a bore. There are literally dozens of well researched articles on it. Here is one of them theconversation.com/a-new-book-rev…

@NJB781 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci You can’t validate your point if you don’t have a source to hand

@823jjd @PaulEmbery What job has been done?

@PaulEmbery This is classic Trump, he does and says whatever he needs to say to get the job done and does not care how it looks. The lefties cannot see outside of virtue signalling, they think everyone is like them.

Trump blinked. His reputation will not recover from this. As with his climbdown over Greenland, he has almost certainly won no significant concessions. "Art of the deal", my foot. I have never seen such shambolic incompetence from a world leader. I've known parish councillors with a better understanding of statecraft.

@DJW1991 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci Look them up. They are widely available

@NJB781 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci Source?

@DJW1991 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci His massive and endless losses then bankrupticies. His wealth was negative until the apprentice. Then in the millions, not billions

@NJB781 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci What numbers are you referring to?

@DJW1991 @NingalooBaby @Scaramucci Well, so was Bernie Madoff

@NingalooBaby @Scaramucci Didn’t say how he made it. To the original point he is a businessman though…

@DJW1991 @BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci The numbers don’t lie His profit wealth is only recent; tv gigs then shenanigans with crypto and superpacs

@BagehotsRevenge @Scaramucci I mean some would beg to differ but all entitled to opinion!

@DJW1991 @Scaramucci He’s not a good businessman .

@Scaramucci Whether you like him or not he’s a business man. And acts as such in the realms of politics. Akin to your engagement philosophy to earn some coin on x

@theradgeygadgey @BDSixsmith Which parts of the article do you disagree with and are you not concerned about quotes that are entirely made up ?

@BDSixsmith Podcaster, eh? 🙄

I wrote about Matt Goodwin's bafflingly lazy new book thecritic.co.uk/suicide-of-an-…

@MartinMonmouth @DPJHodges Well yes. If the countries that have been bombing Iran stop bombing Iran they can be allowed through. If they don't, they can't. Again, all pretty reasonable.

@NJB781 @DPJHodges Well yes, so not a huge step from allowing some ships to go through to all ships being allowed to pass is it.

Trump gave the Iranians an ultimatum. They called his bluff. He's backed down. That's it. No "3-D Chess". No masterful deployment of "The Mad Man Strategy". Trump has caved.

@GoWokwGoBroke @ZacGoldsmith It isn't fake news. Widely covered in Israeli media. No one will be punished or arrested.

@ZacGoldsmith Why repost this #FakeNews?

If this is true, those guilty should be arrested, jailed and utterly ostracised

@aintnosatchmo @adamscochran Not really. The last one had dementia. There's been over a decade of appalling quality incompetent American leadership. Obama was competent but weak, Bush just started wars.

@adamscochran It seems like POTUS is has zero credibility, witch is hard to believe in this day and age, isn't it?

1) Right after the treasury made massive shorts on oil, and before the markets open. 2) While Iran has said there are no on going talks. 3) While Israel has said there are more planned strikes. At this point it’s hard to believe the President isn’t just trying to manipulate markets out of desperation.

@MartinMonmouth @DPJHodges They already allowed plenty of ships through. Just not the countries bombing them. Perfectly reasonable.

@DPJHodges I think you might be jumping the gun. The backing down might be the result of the Iranians promising to let the ships go through Hormuz. We need to wait to see more.

@UKAussieP @BenKentish That's entirely irrelevant for vandalism in the UK on a Jewish community program. Israels crimes have nothing to do with London based ambulances.

@BenKentish Assuming it's related; but there might be more to the story. Jewish settlers are blocking aid and ambulances into Gaza (large rocks on road) and IDF blocking ambulances getting through in Lebanon.

A lot of people have been already been cowed actually, and understandably so.

@giveussomenews @MatthewStadlen Well, he isn't. And I believe he is Jewish. His father was a hugely impressive and humane man as well.

@MatthewStadlen You’re part of the problem Matthew. You’ve been fuelling anti Jewish hatred for over 2 years now. That’s why you get so much pushback in your comment. We see what you’re doing.

Imagine being so depraved that you’d set Jewish ambulances on fire. The authorities must not rest until they bring every perpetrator to justice.

@doofydafus @GBNEWS What else has she done except a phone advert 40 years ago ?

@GBNEWS I’m sure Dame Maureen Lipman will be honoured to have been reduced to ‘Coronation Street star’. 🤦‍♂️

ITV Coronation Street star blasts Keir Starmer for being 'unable to back British Jews over fears of losing Muslim voters' gbnews.com/celebrity/itv-…

@DamianLow3 Yes. Plus Israels blackmailing loads of them. Only Vance and the cabinet can stop it now.

Will Congress really let the world economy collapse and let chaos reign because they’re afraid to stand up to a petulant 79 year old?
