So where exactly is this 70,000 cut coming from. HMRC? Already struggling to cope with the increase in self assessment taxpayers (1.2 million extra this year alone) and a tax gap that currently stands at £36b. A short thread. 1/6
Our National Officer for Ofsted Matt Newman responds to the Education Secretary saying that she “would probably have punched” Ofsted inspectors

An early contender for the 2024 ‘old man yells at cloud’ award from Rod Liddle. Hybrid working is a sign of irreversible national decline alongside hybrid cars and the concept of moving house. There’s nothing like a serious debate…
It was truly humbling to march alongside @FDA_union members who were subject to the GCHQ trade union ban in 1984, as we joined fellow @The_TUC unions to commemorate the 40th anniversary and defend union members' right to strike in 2024.
TODAY 🚨 | Protect the Right to Strike: National march and rally in Cheltenham. Start: 12:00 PM Address: Montpellier Gardens, 24 Montpellier Spa Rd, Cheltenham, GL50 1UL. See you there!
Forecast is DRY for the Protect the Right to Strike rally in Cheltenham tomorrow👌👌👌 Join us - all welcome!
“How did we get here?” is a very good question, but even more crucial is “how do we get out of here?” Government needs to start grappling with this properly. Fortunately unions have lots of good ideas!

Good article by @rowenamason highlighting the issues with staff turnover especially in Cabinet Office and Treasury. Some grades at HMT have an attrition rate of well over 40%, as well as other staff only remaining in post for an average time of just over a year. (1/3)

Civil servants come to work expecting to serve the government of the day, regardless of their own politics. They do not expect to be told to break international law in order to resolve internal party disputes, as the new guidance on ECHR rulings does. @JPonpolitics
“Ministers are saying to civil servants they have to break the law” @FDAGenSec told @BBCNews that proposals from ministers to instruct civil servants to ignore ECHR rulings are unacceptable.
This perfectly summarises the dilemma that civil servants could face. They should not be put in this position.

I really hope the Minister doesn’t promise to do this. It’s odd, confused & damaging. It brings the civil service into the row without solving anything. Ignoring rule 39 orders would still be a breach of the ECHR/international law and risk the safety of the individuals removed

All civil servants will be disturbed by these latest manoeuvrings but none more so than lawyers, who have a professional duty to comply with the law. Obligations to the rule of law should not be a plaything in parliamentary wrangling.

Public servants are more than just a bargaining chip in the negotiations to restore Stormont. They urgently need a pay rise. In the absence of political leadership in Belfast, Chris Heaton-Harris can & should urgently step in to avoid further damage to vital public services. 1/3

Good lawyers give you the advice you need to hear, not just the advice you want to hear. Nonetheless, ministers are free to ignore the advice at their own risk #civilservantsadviseministersdecide

Completely agree with this. There is no evidence that a 3-day hybrid pattern is the best - and in any large or complex organisation the idea that 'best' will be the same for every role, department or team is laughable.

40 years ago the Conservative govt declared trade union membership was incompatible with national security & banned unions from GCHQ. Once again the democratic rights of union members are under attack. Join us at a march & rally in Cheltenham on 27 Jan👇 tuc.org.uk/events/protect…

...so the legal action has nothing to do with opposition to the policy. Civil servants are a convenient scapegoat when ministers are struggling to make a policy work (remember no-deal Brexit?) but undermining civil service impartiality is a bad and dangerous idea
We're going to hear a lot in the coming weeks about how civil servants are thwarting the Rwanda policy. The @FDA_union judicial review is about a conflict between the civil service code & legislation. Ministers could have addressed this in the Rwanda bill but didn't.
'The civil service is often an easy target to blame' A civil service union takes government to court over the Rwanda plan, because if ministers decide to break international law, then the civil service code says employees must always follow the law themselves.
Absolutely delighted to have been elected as a Labour councillor in Tunbridge Wells today. Have had so many good conversations on the doorstep and I’m really looking forward to standing up for our local community and joining the @UKLabour voice here. Lots to do! 🌹
Civil servants should never be put in the position of choosing between following a ministerial instruction & the law. We’ve taken the decision to launch a JR of the Rwanda Act. We do so to protect our members, to protect their integrity & their ability to adhere to the CS code.
The FDA has today launched a judicial review of the Safety of Rwanda Act. We do not welcome this action, but neither are we prepared to shy away from it as we must protect the interests of our members and the integrity of the Civil Service Code.
Every decision comes with consequences. If the government wants to reduce the size of the civil service, it must decide which of its priorities it is willing to sacrifice?
"Cutting civil servants comes with consequences. Ministers have to be honest with the public about what those are. Up until now they haven't been", @FDAGenSec tells @KateEMcCann.
So where exactly is this 70,000 cut coming from. HMRC? Already struggling to cope with the increase in self assessment taxpayers (1.2 million extra this year alone) and a tax gap that currently stands at £36b. A short thread. 1/6
👉🏾According to @ituc, Turkiye is one of the world's worst 🔟 countries for workers. The unjust #1Mayıs bans are just one reason among many. We'll stand shoulder to shoulder with our affiliates in Turkiye. Our general secretary will be in #Taksim with them. ✊🏾 #Solidarity!
Dear @gul_davut, Implement the European Court of Human Rights decision. Allow workers to celebrate Labour Day in #Taksim. 👉🏾On this #1Mayıs, I'll bring the #solidarity of 8️⃣ million public service workers across Europe, and join the celebrations in Taksim with our members.
Our Funding the Nation report sets out how any future government can bring in uncollected tax by investing in the people, skills and technology available to HMRC. Great to see @RachelReevesMP recognise this work in her announcement today.
The FDA welcomes the inclusion of our proposals in Labour’s plan for large scale investment into HMRC’s compliance and customer service work, and we’re pleased they understand the need to invest in HMRC to close the tax gap.
When unions make the difference - love it! Well done all!

The @FDA_union, who represents Ofsted inspectors, called Keegan's comments "unacceptable" “For a minister to suggest that it is acceptable to assault inspectors is irresponsible and dangerous. It will only serve to undermine the credibility of the inspection process.”
Speaking at the @ASCL_UK conference this morning, the Education Secretary said she was “shocked” of one school’s experience with Ofsted, controversially adding that she would have “punched” the inspectors in question. tes.com/magazine/news/…
Our National Officer for Ofsted Matt Newman responds to the Education Secretary saying that she “would probably have punched” Ofsted inspectors
