Throughout England, mail is piling up in Royal Mail centres. The trouble is particularly acute in the Midlands and North, it seems. From my own experience (my sister had to go in person to a Solihull sorting office to retrieve an overdue letter of some importance from me early in the year) it has built up from the start of the pandemic. However, if the Mail had still been under public control, one imagines that the effective direction of labour which has driven the vaccine roll-out could have been applied to the problem.
If only Vince Cable had stuck to Liberal Democrat guns and insisted on the public retaining a 51% stake when the Royal Mail was privatised!
