I wonder how you actually save this thoroughly toxic company now.
Is it possible to turn "hate" into "love"?

Royal Mail is in crisis. Staff are leaving in their hundreds every week, workloads are becoming unmanageable and communities are being let down.
We cannot carry on like this. The Government and company need to work with the CWU on a plan to save this vital national service.

At this stage, it doesn't matter what delivery model is adopted: unless the company faces up to its self-inflicted recruitment and retention crisis, it is on the brink of collapse.
For years, we have had select committees, promises of £500 million improvement plans, a broad array of agreements and threats to improve from Ofcom.
Royal Mail is in serious need of a business vision that provides dignified work for employees and quality service for consumers and communities.

Free land for those who will build social homes on it. Is this the radical solution to the UK’s housing problem? In a word 'Yes' - for too long weve been building #emptyhomes and #Airbnbs in London. Time to stop building #TheWrongHousing and meet our needs theguardian.com/commentisfre…

BREAKING: Russia has launched 6 ballistic missiles into Kyiv with no air alert and no reported air defence activity, with Ukrainian sources saying the US has now cut intelligence sharing that gives early warning of Russian ballistic launches, per initial reports.
As a result, multiple ballistic missiles impacted the city minutes ago.
The US threatened 3 days ago to cut off all intelligence sharing with Ukraine unless Kyiv halted its strikes on Russian refineries. US detection provides the 3 to 5 minute civilian warning for a ballistic launch from western Russia, and without it that window drops to half or to nothing on many trajectories.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ukraine's Air Force says radar detected the targets but received no launch data; the cause is "currently being investigated," with no confirmed US intel cutoff. Zelensky's adviser said such undetected launches happened before and urged against premature conclusions. knews.media/2026/10/13/kyi… unn.ua/en/news/explos…

Did you work for British Rail at Waterloo Station between the late 1950s and early 1980s?
We are appealing for former British Rail employees and colleagues who may have worked at the mail depot beneath Waterloo Station, London, to come forward following a former employee’s diagnosis of mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer.
We are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with first-hand knowledge of working conditions at the depot, or information about the presence, use, condition or removal of asbestos-containing materials at the site.
Our client believes asbestos was present in the premises where they worked, and your recollections could provide valuable information.
Can you help? Please contact Isobel Lovett at Hodge Jones & Allen on 020 7874 8502 or email [email protected].
All information will be treated sensitively and in the strictest confidence.
Please share this appeal to help us reach former British Rail workers and anyone with relevant information.
