In London today to meet the Public Sector Editor of the Guardian, David Brindle, to discuss mutual opportunities. We chewed the fat and shared ideas and agreed a few opportunities to explore. David is going to provide us with some of his colleagues to chair sessions at some of our political fringe events and we are going to provide some opinions on key stories in public services.
Also took the opportunity to catch up with colleagues at UNISON and had a meeting with the General Secretary, Dave Prentis, with regard to a project we are working on for him. Also met with Heather Wakefield the Head of Local Government and we blasted over numerous topics ranging from housing to equal pay. It was a good chance to keep abreast of the endless list of issues that are bubbling along at present.
