@jonsopel How about a different interpretation: Mr Johnson is up to his old game of wanting to appear to be a bumbling fool while manipulating everybody!
@carolvorders I never thought I would defend a conservative PM, especially not this one. However: a blind trust is a trust that HE cannot see / manage, to avoid conflicts of interest.
@MickWhelanASLEF @adgreenmusic Strikes are not going to bring either the DfT or the Treasury to the negotiating table. Instead, they will bleed the union members dry while allowing the Government to posture and denigrate the workers. Please display some cunning, Mick.
@philatrail The crashworthiness of HST power cars could have been improved easily at limited cost some ten years ago but the return on investment in significantly polluting diesel trains is just not worthwhile. Mind you, I love the beasts. Convert to electric traction and add a safety cage!
An interesting perspective on the Republican Party of the past: Herbert Clark Hoover, 31st President of the US (1929 to 1933) had been a great mining engineer. A little known achievement was the translation of Agricola's 'De Re Metallica' from Latin, with his wife Lou, in 1912.
Keith is a very worthy recipient of the Fellowship of the RAEng and I remember him fondly from my time at Sheffield, where I could lay the foundation for my own election.
I feel honoured by the election and I am grateful to my (former) colleagues, graduates, my sponsors and referees for their role in this! I will continue to contribute to the RAEng and railway education!
We're delighted to announce the 73 leading figures from the world of engineering and technology elected to our Fellowship at yesterday's AGM. Meet them all: https://t.co/sdhNX0D6J3 #RAEngFellows

I have been elected an FRAENg. I am most grateful to the SoE and BCRRE at the University of Birmingham for allowing me the space and time to develop railway systems education. I pay tribute to the engineering education staff at Birmingham for their role in this! @RAEngNews@bcrre
.@jeffsmithetc Please support funding for our canals & rescind the reduction that the current government has announced, which could lead to their decline and the eventual closure of parts of the network. Please speak up for your constituents & #KeepCanalsAlive
I just signed the petition urging @RishiSunak to sign and rejoin the EU Horizon research and innovation programme. Will you sign too? https://t.co/zZ3eRp4nHk via @38degrees
