Sheffield cuts put Osborne to shame
THE closure of the government’s Business Department (BIS) office in Sheffield makes “a mockery” of Chancellor George Osborne’s so-called northern powerhouse, the leader of Britain’s Civil Service union said yesterday.
Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union general secretary Mark Serwotka and Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell will march together on Saturday in Yorkshire’s former “steel city” in protest against the proposed closure with the loss of 250 jobs.
He said the closure would undermine efforts to save the steel industry.
