🔥The Arthur's Seat fire demonstrates the dangers to communities posed by cuts to firefighter jobs and station closures.

Scotland’s firefighters showed their worth in Glasgow. Now politicians must show theirs - A recent Union Street blaze showed firefighters at their best, but years of underfunding and job losses are stretching the service to its limits, writes JOHN McKENZIE

Disgraceful remarks by Reform candidates who serve only to dehumanise the victims at Grenfell

[Jre @JrePN7]

An entire avoidable tragedy and now Reform are dehumanising those that died and others who suffered.
There’s not nearly enough outrage about these comments by Reform

A statement from Leicestershire FBU.

[Jre @JrePN7]

In a budget report by Beds Fire, they stated: “37% of respondents supported the increase, with therefore 63% not supporting it”, so they increased it anyway. Make of that framing what you will.
Like clockwork, every year - taxes go up & cuts are still imposed @BBCLookEast @BBC3CR
