📍United Kingdom 🔥 Same hotel, two fires - 25 years apart. In 1998, firefighters saved it. In 2023, they couldn’t. What’s changed? ▪️ 12,000 firefighters cut - 1⃣ in 5⃣ gone ▪️ Fire station closures leading to longer response times The result? More homes were lost. More…

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

Migrants don’t drain billions from the public purse — tax dodgers do. They don’t drive down wages or exploit workers — greedy bosses do. And they don’t starve schools or hospitals of funding — political choices do. Labour won’t defeat the far-right by parroting their myths.

The FBU has proudly forged a bond with firefighters across Europe, further strengthened as we host @EPSUnions Firefighters’ Network in London this week. Firefighters around the globe face many common threats, particularly where climate change is concerned - paired with cuts to…

The #Grenfell Inquiry must lead to transformative change. Ahead of the Commons debate today, we urge government to: ▪️ implement the Report’s recommendations ▪️ invest in current & new social homes ▪️ finish implementing the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, inc. Awaab’s Law

Both @EPSUnions and @fbunational have donated to the appeal we've been running for the workers of the 10th Rescue Squad in Donetsk oblast, eastern Ukraine. The support is much appreciated. There's still time for trade unionists and others to support: bit.ly/ukrainerescuew…
