Prior to the Board of Trustee mtg today at National Coal Mining Museum, our Regional Organiser wrote to each Trustee via the Secretary of the Board. When Trustees arrived this morning, they said they had never received it. So it's here! Pls retweet. Thank you @unisonyh

"The truth still has a value in the politics of our society" (Tony Benn). A much missed giant of our movement. Thanks for sharing this @Miners_Strike
A timely reminder of Tony Benn's speech in the House of Commons: βMinisters have lied and lied and LIED about the mining industryβ

Thanks to Tony Gardner for this wonderful article in @WakeExpress. The Chair of Trustees, Philip Marshall needs to make decisions in best interest of the Museum. It is a national asset funded by taxpayer - Philip Marshall, you need to step up! @DCMS @ChtyCommission @unisonyh
