Prospect is calling on the Government to leave X following ongoing political interference and the promotion of far-right content on the platform. Civil servants and communications workers should not have to read racist content while trying to do their jobs and communicate with the public.
Government pay remit guidance for civil servants at 3.5% is a welcome acknowledgement of the cost-of-living crisis but lack of pay progression in delegate grades is disappointing. Our response to the government announcement here: prospect.org.uk/news/pay-rem...

The Government must ensure that public sector workers, and the specialists that Prospect represent, receive a fair pay rise that matches inflation in the upcoming civil service pay round. Read our General Secretary’s comments in today’s @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/65ce...

I’ve spent the last year investigating how the UK's broken employment tribunal system lets rogue bosses evade justice. But this is the craziest case,by far. A restaurant chain that lost 21 tribunal claims over several years, yet never paid a single one🧵 www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...
We wrote to Reform's Richard Tice in November outlining how their plans to close public sector Defined Benefit Schemes to new entrants would cost the public finances billions. Today they have re-announced the same policy - it's fantasy economics. prospect.org.uk/news/prospec...

Notable for being the first women on this critical job, and not before time. We hope that increased, meaningful engagement with trade unions is prioritised as it has to be for effective civil service reform.
