Lithuania released footage of the literal cutting of powerlines transporting electricity from Russia.
Russia-occupied Kaliningrad exclave is now on its own. There's still a gas pipeline going from Russia to Kaliningrad through Lithuania. Hopefully that's next.
Huge congratulations to Berkshire FBU who’ve smashed the maternity provisions & secured 52 weeks fully paid maternity leave
This is a massive step forward for the #Fightfor52 campaign & a progressive move to better maternity provisions in the Fire & Rescue Service
@FBUBerkshire
Excellent news for @fbunational women members in @manchesterfire
Agreement reached with @DeputyMayorofGM on 52 weeks full maternity pay
A huge step forward and one that is very welcomed by all members and officials in Greater Manchester FBU 👏🏻
There's more than a £15,000 gap in maternity pay between the best and worst paying fire services.
Firefighters are standing up and calling on employers for fair maternity pay across the UK.
It's time for an end to the postcode lottery.
We’re recruiting wholetime firefighters!
If you’ve been waiting to apply as a wholetime firefighter now’s the time to do it. Applications will close on the 29th February, for a squad which will start in August 2024.

@_SReid Sorry to hear this mate. Remember your reputation is really good and you've proved that your good at your job time and time again. You know you can do it
Firefighters have a clear vision for a fire and rescue service fit for the future.
By standing together, we can make this a reality.
Make sure your MP backs the Firefighters' Manifesto: https://t.co/XvuqB3M4bv
Years of austerity have driven the fire service to the breaking point.
There's another way - and if we stand together, we can make it happen.
Write to your MP and back the Firefighters' Manifesto.

That's why we're fighting to end an unjust postcode lottery with 52 weeks full pay maternity leave.
Today, FBU executive council member Val Hampshire made the case at Labour Women's Conference✊
🔥Join the fight for our future 🔥
On Wednesday 1 November, firefighters will come to Westminster for our national rally.
