Having spoken to a number of friends - who all agree with me - I have submitted a formal complaint to the BBC @bbcsport - we pay a license fee and they treat us like idiots.

I’m going to launch a petition to ask that Rio, Micah & Shearer are all dropped for the next game. They’re nice guys and were superb players but as pundits 😱 Aren’t they meant to be analysts - not a fan club?

The @ECB released its 13th report on changes in T2S settlement data over 2023. I spoke with @AnnaReitman at @Finadium about the figures and what they imply is happening to manage settlement fails and penalty rates in a T+1 backdrop. Read here: https://t.co/2ujvApa2q3

@LBC @AndrewMarr9 @GlobalPlayer Your “Infosys” story seems very skewed. They are a success story around the world. Isn’t it possible they are just rather good at what they do?

[Tony Freeman @ajtfreeman]

@British_Airways @RedLionBooks It is NOT working. I cant use the App or Website. Why is it so utterly unreliable.

[Tony Freeman @ajtfreeman]

@BillMeenaghan @isitceurope We have today submitted our response to the ESMA Consultation on T+1 in the EU. Properly automated exchange of SSI data (no faxes, emails, spreadsheets) is one of our core recommendations.

[Tony Freeman @ajtfreeman]

@virginieoshea Properly automated (i.e. no fax, email, spreadsheet/CSV files) real-time processing is essential, especially in segments like securities lending which are already very time challenged.

[Tony Freeman @ajtfreeman]

@virginieoshea My best advice is to build a Same-Day Trade Processing model. Overnight batch processing is still commonplace. This is a form of automation but is not viable in a T+1 settlement cycle.

[Tony Freeman @ajtfreeman]

@virginieoshea But I still come across firms (almost entirely buyside/retail) that regard sending a fax as an automated process.

The honour of presenting @BBCNewsnight falls to me tonight. I have worked on the programme for 32 years, around the world, risking my life many times for its journalism. You can well imagine my feelings at cuts to our staff and budget of more than 50% https://t.co/zyQTwFKIiI
