In a staff conference around 1994 I remember Hans Snook (then CEO of a dynamic new UK mobile operator called Orange) asking us to imagine a situation where we all knew what each other knew? We'd all be expert in everything. As a company we'd be unbeatable. 1/2

Infuriating phone-in on @lbc.co.uk where all the callers I heard and maybe the presenter @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social too conflated immigration with asylum. We already have an immigration system akin to the Australian "points based" system. 1/n

Ugh. I wonder how many million bottles of cherry coke have been sold to people thinking they were buying ordinary diet coke? Does *anyone* actually choose to buy cherry coke?

Interesting. I hadn't realised the scale of the ambition and I fully support it. If anything, we should accelerate it, imo!

1/20 Overnight events are beginning to validate the strategic model I published yesterday. Hormuz, Saudi Arabia’s pipeline bypass and Bab al-Mandeb are now under simultaneous pressure, but my first concern is the merchant seafarers caught between states, armed groups and competing claims.

Take a kernel of truth, twist it and let the conspiracy machine run wild. If the beliefs about the UK in the comments to this post are widespread in the US it's pretty sinister. Makes me wonder how long it is before they declare they want to invade us.

I've signed this - please may I ask that you do too? It may be belt and braces since the police are allegedly already investigating but if belt and braces are needed to make sure the bastard can't get away with this, then that's just fine with me.

Today is the lowest figure I've seen for gas on the grid. I was hoping we'd have our first gas free day this year, but it seems unlikely now as we head into winter. They'd need to approach that target very gingerly to avoid instability.

I think the best writing paints pictures in your head. This piece does that in spades and so much more. Essential reading. Such a shame that most , if not all, of the subjects of the piece would be too scared to read and reflect on it. Easier to chant "woke!".

1/15 The holding pattern in #TheHormuzCrisis seems to be breaking. To understand why, we need to look beyond the diplomatic statements and examine the commercial behaviour. Ships, insurers and charterers are now telling us what they believe is actually happening in practice in the Strait.

1/16 The 60-day Islamabad MoU has reached its final day without a replacement agreement, an announced extension or any acknowledged US-Iran talks. That does not automatically mean renewed war. It means the remaining restraint is political, not contractual. #TheHormuzCrisis #USAIranWar
