It is easy to promise big cost savings but the reality is that cutting public servants means damaging the delivery of the services the public rely on. Read our response in @CSWnews to reports that Reform plans to cut civil service jobs.
Reform says its plans if it is elected include wants closing six Whitehall offices, giving ministers powers to hire and fire officials, banning "DEI woke agenda" and "at least" 30% headcount cuts https://t.co/RyqQqPOrbG

This report confirms the extent of a problem we have been raising with the Cabinet Office on behalf of our members. It is unacceptable that the provider of a contract of this magnitude has been allowed to tail off its service at the end of the contract with no consequence.
New report: Civil Service Pensions 📃 Our report lays out successive government failures in the administration of the pension scheme and calls for @cabinetofficeuk transparency on contractors' commitment to union recognition. Read more 👇

The Clean Energy Jobs Plan is a welcome step but scale of the challenge demands more action and urgency. If this mission is to be a success, and support the wider industrial strategy and growth agendas, then we urgently need a step-change in the level of workforce development.
The clean energy future is about more than solar panels & wind turbines - it’s about well paid, secure jobs for everyone. ✅ 400,000 extra jobs by 2030 ✅ 5 new Clean Energy Technical Excellence Colleges ✅ Helping people learn new skills & transition from other professions

We need less of this poison in our political debate, and if Reform are serious about forming a government they should distance themselves from these comments immediately. Read @mikeclancy1's response in @FT

🚨 Prospect condemns Arron Banks’ violent remarks about civil servants. It isn't surprising that someone like Banks who has no understanding of the complexity of government wants to see civil service job cuts, but it's shocking that anyone in politics would use such language.
