The real issue in the review of #postal services is not the Q. of Saturday deliveries... it is the possible ending of the universal service obligation in its current form.
if flat rate national postal rates are ended, this will empower the Post Office's competitors to ramp up differential pricing across the country, as the PO will be doing the same.
If the #Tories manage to skew the debate to the continuation of six day deliveries, the effective end of the USO is what they are trying to hide
