@VeteransGateway Please sign our petition opposing the potential outsourcing of veterans services. They must not be run on a for profit basis you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/defe…
Another good reason the MOD need to stop outsourcing at any cost. The potential outsourcing of Veterans Services, the War Pensions scheme, Armed forces compensation scheme and medals office is a disgrace. There is no fully reasoirxed in house option to honestly rest value!

Mod asks Capita, CSC, SSCL to bid for veterans services work currently delivered in-house by MOD civil servants. Veterans services must not be run on a for profit basis you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/defe…
War Pensions, Armed Forces Compensation scheme and Veterans Services must not be sold off by MOD to become another Carillon. Please support our demand for a full public consultation you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/defe…
'Recklessness, hubris and greed' – Carillion slammed by MPs theguardian.com/business/2018/…
What on earth will ASDA workers who are worrying about their futures tonight think of this? This is not only crass, it’s unprofessional and insensitive. Is Sainsbury's takeover of ASDA about people - workers and shoppers - or just more 💰💰💰 for its boss?” #asdasainsburys

British Armed Forces recognises service & personal accomplishments of service personnel members with awarding various awards & decorations. They are a means to outwardly display the highlights of a serviceperson's career. Should the MOD de-value them by outsourcing @DVS4Veterans
A service of remembrance for Red Arrows engineer Corporal Jonathan Bayliss, who died last month, took place at Lincoln Cathedral earlier today. The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team would like to thank everyone who has sent condolence messages following this tragic loss.

The MOD has learned no lessons around outsourcing, they are looking to sell off the War Pensions Scheme & Armed Forces Compensation scheme. Would you hand a £146bn pension fund to the private sector to manage! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
We believe outsourcing the Medals Office would diminish the value of awards and medals @DVS4Veterans
Under market testing and outsourcing all bidders must have solvent pension funds, any deficit should be added as a liability cost to their bids for public sector work @DefendingDBS @DefenceCutsCost @DVS4Veterans
Please can we ask all our followers to follow @DVS4Veterans the MOD is looking to sell off the War Pensions Scheme, the Armed Forces Compensation scheme and Medals office. We think it's a national disgrace @DVS4Veterans @DefenceCutsCost @pcs_union @DefendingDBS
It's not every day that one of our #blind #veterans turns 101, so we thought a cake and some fizz were in order!🎈@BritishArmy veteran Idris, who was born in 1917, said: "At 101 I feel a bit old for birthdays, so I was rather overwhelmed with the fuss.”
Veterans UK, part of Defence Business Services, is MOD's dedicated veterans support organisation, available to 4.6M veterans. Delivering Armed Forces Compensation Scheme & War Pensions Scheme paying c.£72.5M per month to those injured or bereaved @DefendingDBS @DefenceCutsCost
Military Personnel, part of Defence Business Services, through the Ministry of Defence Medals Office, asses, prepare and deliver 45,000+ medals per year. We believe this forms part of the Military Covenant and promise @DefendingDBS @DefenceCutsCost #MoDinCrisis
