Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service have sent an email to warn staff members not to support Reform UK.
This is a shocking breach of electoral neutrality and free speech.
Read @ZiaYusufUK’s letter to demand answers. 👇
On May 7th we made history.
Now it’s time to get to work and ensure that come the General Election, Barking and Dagenham and Rainham returns 2 Reform MPs to deliver the change our country so desperately needs.
This is the real Andy Burnham.
He promised affordable housing, then diverted hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding to one developer's property empire.
We are now the official opposition in the Senedd.
Reform UK will hold Plaid Cymru to account, champion common sense and put the people of Wales first. 🏴
🚨 Astonishingly, the heads of the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service’s (GMFRS) ‘race and faith’ network have sent an email to firefighters, targeting staff members standing as candidates for Reform UK.
The email stated these individuals were "spoken to" and that management is seeking "legal guidance" to protect their "inclusive culture."
Sending an anti-Reform UK political broadcast on public systems during a regulated election period is a shocking breach of electoral neutrality and is unlawful.
Firefighters have every legal right to stand for election.
Hounding staff for lawful political views is unacceptable and is proof of the exact perception that anyone questioning an aggressive DEI agenda will be chased out of their job.
I have written to Chief Fire Officer Dave Russel demanding answers.
Petch and Ahmed - the network heads responsible - appear to have committed gross misconduct and should be dismissed.
GMFRS must apologize to Reform UK and the affected staff.
We have given GMFRS until Wednesday to answer 8 specific demands, including providing transcripts of what was said to our candidates and explaining why these network heads are permitted to weaponize IT systems.
I am also calling on HMICFRS (@HMICFRS) and the Electoral Commission (@ElectoralCommUK) to urgently investigate this unlawful breach.

It’s now been 1 month since Reform UK’s big wins on May 7th.
We won one million more votes than our nearest rival.
And we’re still just getting started. 🚀

Imagine telling the police you’d been stabbed as your attacker stood by with his family.
The officer replies “I don’t think you have mate”.
The police handcuff you and read you your rights.
As you bleed to death.
RIP Henry.
We will work tirelessly to ensure nobody else suffers your fate.
The root cause of divisive policies like ‘Race Action Plans’ and anti-white racism?
The Equality Act 2010 which forces ‘positive action’ (basically positive discrimination against white men) and the ‘public sector equality duty’ onto public bodies.
The Equality Act has been the foundation of the DEI industry in the police, armed forces, intelligence services, local councils, schools and the civil service.
Only @reformparty_uk has pledged to repeal this destructive law, whilst always maintaining legal protections in the workplace for everyone.
No-one should be discriminated against on the basis of race, sex, disability or other immutable characteristic.
As we mark the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we remember all those who sacrificed, including the 98 fallen heroes whose names were recently added to the British Memorial in Normandy.
We will remember them.
Today we remember the courage and sacrifice of the heroes who landed in Normandy 82 years ago.
Their sacrifice changed the course of history. Lest we forget. 🇬🇧
