@Zaid_ISN @Carolyn_on_X I remember it well. Wanted to see the Ruts and Au Pairs, but missed both of those gigs, so didn't want to miss the Undertones. A great night. Fergal Sharkey was brilliant.

@clem_burke was the very best drummer I ever had the pleasure seeing up close. An artist and natural player with an abundance of talent. An irreplaceable genius who played and played whether Blondie toured or not. Even joining a tribute band and touring the UK.

Prospect General Secretary @mikeclancy1 emphasised the need to resolve pay for this year and work together for the future to design a system that works for all, on behalf of members of our members in the public and civil services. [2/2]

Really sad news, good friend, good comrade

JANE LOFTUS – CWU PRESIDENT

We are deeply saddened to announce that CWU President and Chair of the Postal Executive Jane Loftus has passed away earlier today following a short illness.

This news will be extremely upsetting to us all.

Jane was a huge figure in our union over many decades and we know Branches, Representatives and members will be shocked and saddened by this news.

We will of course find an appropriate way to mark Jane’s legacy in this union in due course.  

However, Jane will be remembered for her passion and commitment and for her inspirational campaigning against all forms of injustice and discrimination – both within the CWU and the wider movement.

At this moment in time our thoughts are with Jane’s husband Chris, her daughter Joanne and her family and on behalf of the whole union we offer them our heartfelt condolences.

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward
General Secretary

Tony Kearns
Senior Deputy General Secretary

This graph shows what has happened to civil service pay under the Remit Guidance since 2010 and what has happened to pay elsewhere, and RPI. And NO, civil servants haven't received pay progression "on top". Time to make a stand and we are indicatively balloting on action.

Wow, that interview with Shirin Neshat by John Wilson on radio 4 #thisculturallife was amazing and very moving

I am normally content to RT others' hot takes, but I am so shocked and appalled at @RishiSunak's Spring Statement I have been moved to comment. A short thread. /1
