History repeating itself. Give Ukraine the tools it needs to defend itself and expel the invaders.

@gregbagwell @scottyeders I’m sure that Sharkey Ward would have given this argument his full support had he still been with us...
Seriously, though…would this not lead to even worse retention problems in the short term?

@scottyeders I wasn’t crystal clear there sorry - all under one Service, one uniform and one career structure not just command. It’s a bold step, but we did it once before when we were
much bigger and in the middle of a war. There could be a transition/amnesty period to ease it in.

2/ This is a rarely told story of how the constitution of the F35 force was decided. It points fingers at the leadership of both Services & the MoD for ducking the hard choices; and I don’t really blame the RN for taking advantage. But we are now seeing the impact 14 years on.

@PlanetRockRadio @WyattVW Yes, Stafford Bingley Hall, March 1977. “Animals” had recently been released. The light show was fantastic and the playing sublime, but there was almost zero audience interaction. They came on, played their stuff, came back for a single encore, said thank you, and went home.

Is there anyone reading this who's seen Pink Floyd play live when both Roger Waters and David Gilmour were in the band?
If so, where and when?
@WyattVW wants your stories to read out on-air!

Everyone has their role, their essential role to play in the RAF family. I wonder if anyone else remembers Elsie, the cleaner in Eng Ops, RAF Northolt, 1982/3? Wherever you are now, I remember how you kept our workplace habitable. Thank you.

@penny38555832 Keir, tier…you can’t effectively ban what you can’t spell :-)

@PatriciaClaxton @reece_dinsdale No, but you can silence it with duct tape and a pair of boxing gloves.
English
@reece_dinsdale The man is ridiculous. Shows it doesn’t necessarily pay to fund an expensive education. You can’t cure stupid.

If you want to listen to music by someone called Gallagher, you don't need Liam or Noel, you need Rory.

@tinman197474747 @gregbagwell Yes, I know, but the last Canberra PR9s which left service in 2006 were likewise much upgraded compared to the B2s which first saw squadron service in 1951.
English
@GrumpyOldBikerr @gregbagwell It has had a major upgrade and refurb.

Read this carefully. They don’t say they can’t deliver the right product at the right price, they say they can’t win because they can’t meet the additional requirements of jobs, investment and sovereignty. A Defence Industrial Strategy needs to work out who pays for that premium.

With deadline for UK's New Medium Helicopter contest bids today @AirbusHeli has confirmed that it is not submitting a bid. "Reluctantly, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the competition."

How many of these are resident in your CD cabinet?
(LPs, musicassettes, 8-tracks, 78s, wax cylinders also count)

@peterrichardbro I don’t think so, the bowlers will want a rest. Batting won’t be getting any easier as the wicket wears and I’m sure Shoaib Bashir could have some fun on day 4/5.

If there was a Brexit referendum tomorrow, how would you vote?
English
@peskydogooder @nationaltrust Based on your previous post on the subject of the NT, fnar.
English
One of the best things about @nationaltrust is that their volunteers appear to openly love the subject they talk about, and have the rare ability to make those listening embrace it too.
Thank you; may you keep going from strength to strength!

Why hasn’t absofuckinglutely everything been done already? It’s not like Labour have only been in power for 50-odd days and there’s only 24 hours in a day, or anything like that, is it?

Why hasn't subsidised food & drink been cut for MPs & Lords? Starmer has already told us we can't afford it.

In May this year, @LordPeterHendy pressured my now-former employer @SYSTRA_UKIRL to sack me by threatening them.
Why did he do this? Because I'd highlighted safety and accessibility issues at Euston station. He is unfit for office and should resign.

I have half a Red Storm cheese truckle in the fridge; is it too late to be eating (fantastic, amazing, stunningly palatable) cheese?
