Not for debate? I think it's time you had a debate with Natasha Hausdorff.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

These words from Francesca Albanese:

‘I am not here to discuss what two indicted war criminals have to say’

‘This is genocide’
‘It’s not for debate’
‘We failed to prevent a genocide’

The Hague for Netanyahu 🇮🇱 now

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 today.

It is longer form than Piers Morgan or Zeteo and gets people from all sides. "The Rest is Politics" is the most thoughtful podcast I see but very UK focused

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

I was thinking of Trigger Nometry for example

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

Assuming that podcasting can never be journalism?

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

The trend started with advertorial. Advertising and editorial should have always be clearly separated.

The little Gazan girl killed fetching water:

A thread about a new lie aimed against Israel yet which the evidence shows otherwise.

Now the death of this girl is a tragedy. But it wasn’t the IDF who killed her.

Agreed but a lot of my former colleagues moved there for Koos Bekker's 39 pieces of silver. Natasha Marrian came back after a few days.

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

Yes

It turns out that Nasionale Pers aka News24 has been charging me on 2 different emails for months. Call centre cancelled one but refused to reimburse me for the back payments. Only R109 a month but it adds up. She was rude in fact. Seems to resent being asked to speak English.

Long time no see Niall. My book finally came out. "The Mavericks" got another on the go now. I saw you with a beard on Trigger Nometry, which was strange

"While the world fixates on Donald Trump’s populist cocktail of reciprocal tariffs and big, beautiful deficits, @JMilei is delivering a man-made miracle that should gladden the heart of every classical economist and quicken the pulse of all political libertarians." 1/5

I hear after pressure from BDS thugs Absa no longer sponsors the Jewish Achiever Awards. What a bunch of lily-livered cowards.

When I offered to write your biography for Tafelberg you said you were too shy, Michael 😗

[Michael Jordaan @MichaelJordaan]

Interesting story of my journey from banker to venture capitalist. The golden thread remains to surround yourself with people better than you https://t.co/DfWJwFypKX

McDonald's advertised R59,90 for a McCrispy meal but we were R78.40. Another Ramaphosa lie.

The FT must stop spamming my inbox with these myFT Instant Alerts. Why do they expect me to be interested in
their copy? I am not an accountant or an actuary.

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

Which comment are you replying too?

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

Hamas operates openly in Cape Town and has mounted a very sophisticated PR campaign. What's the mystery? Naledi Pandor phoned Hamas to congratulate them a few days after October 7. She lost her seat thankfully.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

This question by @NickJFreitas is probably the most important and intellectually brilliant question that far too few ever ask. I’ve asked this a hundred times and not enough people can ever answer it.

Hamas knew what our response would be, yet they knew with almost 100% confidence that the left in the west would invert the truth and narrative, flood the media with lies and propaganda with full complicity of the media. They knew that protests would erupt within minutes of them launching their attacks on Oct 7. They knew leftists would completely come to their support and turn on the Jews.

HOW DID THEY KNOW?????

Ask yourselves. Be honest and ask yourselves how they could have known.

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

Stiff competition. But he has lived up to the nickname Stumblebore. Jeremy Corbyn would have been even worse but he was unelectable

[Benonwine @benonwine]

Big FAT YES from me!

[Stephen Cranston @Scranston]

Before or after Peter Gabriel?

Just found out from my old colleague Stuart Theobald what the taco trade means. Trump always chickens out. I thought it referred to something "ruder". The other Stephen C is always making jokes about Taco Bell.
