Pleased to be one of the ten allocated MPs to sponsor Gavin‘s excellent #backinthehold legislation to prevent companies from using this pandemic for opportunistic reasons. All parties represented from all parts of the UK
British Airways says it is burning through £20 million every day and needs to cut costs to survive. The biggest shareholder in IAG (which owns BA) has just told Sky News it is willing to put more money into the airline group.

Sorry for deleting the last version - I realised I hadn't put in the fact it'd be from someone who names a charity in reply to the tweet.
PS all decisions on who the 1mth follower is are mine- i'll do my best to get it right, or at least close to it :)
Low cost wages no good where jobs have health & safety aspect🤯 Noone wants to fly on plane where engine serviced by worker stressed & doing 2 jobs to make ends meet cos his wages got halved & he is trying to keep his home! #BAbetrayal @BaBetrayal @British_Airways@HuwMerriman
Health Secretary @MattHancock has spent the last 3 months telling us all to socially distance at least 2m apart. This is him today ignoring that in Parliament. Yet again, one rule for them, another for us. 👇
More evidence that @British_Airways don't need to take these unnecessary actions against its staff. Qatar has a 25% in #IAG and has offered help and will inject equity. Why doesn't Willie Walsh and #IAG take up their offer and protect BA workers. #BAbetrayal#StandWithBAWorkers
This Govt should bring forward a mechanism to reassert control of lucrative slots given to @British_Airways at Heathrow. BA must meet @unitetheunion@bassa & negotiate a deal to save jobs, not profit from a crisis at the expense of their staff. #HandBackTheFlag#BAStopThinkAgain
I’m joining with @SamTarry and a long line of MPs who are appalled at the current behaviour of @British_Airways and International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG). Other IAG airlines - Iberia, Vuelling, Level - are not firing all their staff and rehiring some. #BAStopThinkAgain
The Government must deliver a rescue deal which requires airlines to protect jobs and address their climate impact.
British Airways has acted appallingly, threatening tens of thousands of people with redundancy at the peak of a crisis.
