@BBCTomEdwards My 1h26m commute has also been preemptively timetabled to be 1h59m…. I guess go avoid delay repay?

Thanks for having me! 👇👇👇

Politicians brag about their sanctions every chance they get - they’re ““crippling”, then they’re “unprecedented”, then occasionally “regime-changing”- but how do they actually work? Haud the bus, DO they actually work?

How ‘competant’ is @reformparty_uk in the #NewForest? Asking for an undecided school teacher… @haveigotnews @Lymingtontimes

Catching up with UK news from this week, and it turns out I was surprisingly prescient…

For anyone following the debate re crypto donations in UK politics, here’s a handy summary of our thoughts from the @CFS_RUSI …

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

Ye Olde @SW_Help trick of cancelling all stops in the New Forest on a Friday night to no doubt rig their punctuality stats… (The 1835 from Waterloo, to be precise). Bravo for another display of customer service!

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@SW_Help So you decided that kicking all the passengers off the train was the correct customer service decision. Indeed a new low in SWR service!

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

Thanks @SW_Help for just arbitrarily cancelling all stops on the 1835 to Weymouth through the New Forest. Your commitment to customer service reaches new lows!!

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@SW_Help Yes. But that doesn’t explain why the Mew Forest stops were arbitrarily cancelled when the train was still going through the NF to Bournemouth. Or does the timetable matter more than customers.

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@SW_Help Of course I didn’t stay in the train!! You canceled all stops in the New Forest…

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@DDolzikova Combining your two passions!! Bravo!

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@edvaizey still no reply from you to my emails in the context of you position as co-chair of the APPG on crypto and digital assets. Might someone get back to me. Thanks!

With the UK government talking tough on the future of the sale proceeds, how will #RomanAbramovich react; and how, nearly four years after the sale of the club, are we still nowhere near a resolution...?

@shashj Or seizure with the consent of / at the direction of the flag state, per UNCLOS - I believe.

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@LordRickettsP For those like us at @CFS_RUSI who study the financial dimension of electoral interference, it may actually represent ‘hostility’ on two fronts, unfortunately…

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@NicholasVinocur I fully agree. Perhaps de Wever would like to spend a couple of weeks in Kyiv and reflect on whether his actions to limit Ukraine’s access to critical funding are as principled as he seems to think they are. We criticise Orban, but de Wever’s (in)actions are next level…

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@tashecon I don’t understand how Euroclear can be so tin eared… but then again, when you look at the shareholder names, perhaps that might indicate who the audience is for these repeated comments…

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

…then 1600 now 1620. Is someone going to say anything informative?

[Tom Keatinge @keatingetom]

@Eurostar communication re 9140 is dire. ‘A small technical issue’ we were told 40mins ago… Now it’s ’a technical issue’ for the delay with a series of aspirational departure times… 1520, then 1540… Please can someone level with us.
