ALT Image of George Alagiah on right. Left text "āAcross the BBC, we are all incredibly sad to hear the news about George. We are thinking of his family at this time. āGeorge was one of the best and bravest journalists of his generation who reported fearlessly from across the world as well as presenting the news flawlessly. āHe was more than just an outstanding journalist, audiences could sense his kindness, empathy and wonderful humanity. He was loved by all and we will miss him enormously." Tim Davie BBC Director-General"

The sheer intensity of Royal Mailās assault against their employees, contained in this heartbreaking piece by a postal worker, is shocking. What a stark contrast between what posties do for us and what their employers do to them. #PostalWorkersDay

Shell posts Ā£10bn profit for just three months & pays investors Ā£6.5bn. Centrica, the owner of British Gas, posts profits of Ā£1.3bn for six months and pays investors Ā£59m.
All while your energy bill increases by 300%. A racket. Nationalise energy.

The Labour leadership, in charge of a party set up by trade unions to support workers' rights, has just sacked Shadow Transport Minister Sam Tarry for joining a picket line. Labour is drifting away from its trade union roots and a plant without roots dies pretty quickly.

Rachel Maclean has just solved the cost of living crisis - turns out all you need to do is get a better paid job and work more hours. For example, you could become and MP and claim Ā£218,000 in expenses on top of your Ā£80k salary like she did last year.

Cressida Dick should never have led the Met. She was the officer in charge when Jean Charles de Menezes was fatally shot.
Her leadership saw the violent response to Sarah Everard's vigil and a failure to tackle institutional racism and sexism.
Her departure is long-overdue.
