2nd class | Bah, humbug! Staff 'disappointed' as Royal Mail downgrades Christmas perk

It may feel like a Blue Christmas for some Royal Mail workers this year, after the postal service downgraded a seasonal perk given in thanks for their hard work over the festive period.

In previous years, such as 2024, Royal Mail gave staff a book of 50 or 100 first-class stamps. But for 2025, the gift has been downgraded to a second-class book.
