@CatHobbs @We_OwnIt Royal Mail, the water utilities & the mobile phone network. All of these would provide a better service without lining the pockets of the already wealthy if they were publicly owned & run.

@CatHobbs There needs to be a much broader Independent Inquiry into Royal Mail which could take account of the findings of Ofcom and the Information Commissioner.

@CatHobbs @SandraDunn1955 Why is the government never investigated for missed delivery targets? 🤔

@CatHobbs I do hope that Simon Thompson's bonus isn't affected by this.

@CatHobbs Hi Cat, if you want to know why this is happening message me, 29 years at Royal Mail

@CatHobbs @TinaWight2 Yes, we're lucky to get post once a week. Sometimes letters take a month or more to reach us.

@CatHobbs The business model is broken. RM have to deliver to all addresses in the UK, whilst competition can offer discounts to businesses who are producing bulk mail.( RM then only do the " last mile"). With the decline in mail volumes, perhaps time for a radical rethink.

@CatHobbs @globalhlthtwit But on a level playing field: it makes no sense to allow Dutch & German post offices to profit from cherry picking the easy/cheap deliveries in the UK. Also: clamp down on cowboy parvel delivery firms.

@CatHobbs Not only RM but the European parcel delivery wing that the letter post profits help set up

@CatHobbs But not by the Conservative or Labour leadership so no.

@CatHobbs The privatisation of Royal Mail was a Vince Cable cockup of massive proportions.
