One of the "fun" things when submitting a travel claim to MOD is having it rejected because the cost of parking exceeds the maximum allowance. Please tell Heathrow Airport to reduce their charges.

There is something far more sinister and dangerous behind recent events. Those that believe they are doing “the right thing” by acting as they do need to understand the full consequences of their actions and more importantly their rhetoric. Let’s join the dots:🧵1/9

It was great to be RUSI yesterday for the annual Gallipoli Lecture delivered by my old friend and former boss Vice Admiral Andrew Burns. "It's the economy, stupid" is a phrase which should ring down the centuries. Naval power is intrinsically linked to national prosperity.

Brilliant. Needs to be booked for Glastonbury this weekend.

Great to William D. James on board HMS Prince of Wales in Singapore. Even better to see him wearing his Royal Navy Strategic Studies Centre Visiting Fellow lapel badge!

Thoroughly enjoyed judging a RUSI debate last night. The question was whether the current wave of tech innovation resulted in revolutionary change in war at sea. Great speakers from industry, NATO, academia and the navy. I won't divulge the result. But what do you think?

Well, those stats are worth celebrating! According to the last census, 16% of the UK population was born overseas. One in eight equates to 12.5%. I guess that means that UK residents born overseas are less likely to be criminals than people born here. Thanks The Times and The Sunday Times

Japan set to land Australia frigate order in first warship export deal - also in English. This is remarkable news for a number of reasons. The details are unclear but some reactions worth considering: asia.nikkei.com/politics/defen…

Exactly 111 years ago today, Britain entered WWI. The statistics that emerged from that decision are almost too shocking to believe. Here are 15 mind-blowing facts about the British Army in WWI 🧵👇🏼

Very much enjoyed my time as a Fighter Controller / Air Director in Illustrious. My period on board covered Southern Watch and Palliser. Never a dull moment.

All said in the spirit of reasonable challenge, Strategyforward's thread is worth a read. I think the naval obsession with kit plays a role. More important things - ideas, concepts, ie what to do with the kit - are neglected or not properly road tested. Raid what? Where? Why?
