More brutal BBC cuts will be devastating for workers and audiences. With the charter renewal on the horizon, now is the time to strengthen the BBC’s future, not weaken it.

[NUJ @NUJofficial]

Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said:

“This constant cycle of cuts and cost-saving must end [...] The BBC cannot provide quality journalism without the talented and experienced workers who make it possible.”

Dragon boating is built on teamwork and trust. As the saying goes, the boat moves fastest when everyone paddles as one. It is a fitting reminder of what we can achieve when we work together towards a common goal. (3/4)

The fight against illicit finance is a fundamental matter of economic justice, democratic integrity and social responsibility.

Andy is right on both Hillsborough and the 1950s women state pension injustice. Many current MPs pledged to support 1950s born women on state pension justice, but the Govt are sadly refusing to do the right thing. They urgently need to put this right.

US secondary sanctions on Cuba arguably represent a clear breach of international law. I asked Ministers what representations the UK Government has made to the US on this, and whether they will show the same urgency they did over Greenland.
