Fire control staff are there whenever anyone calls 999 for fire. This is the reality of their vital work 👇

Now Merseyside fire control staff are going on strike to defend their life saving service.

Show them you stand with them - RT with a message of solidarity

💥 This is huge 💥

The numbers speak for themselves.

🗳️ After more than a decade of falling pay, firefighters have voted by an overwhelming margin for strike action. 🗳️

We stand firm. ✊

🚨NEW: Firefighters have voted overwhelmingly to go on strike.

📉 Salaries cut in real terms by £4,000 since 2009

🚒 Central funding for fire services cut by 40% in real terms over past decade

👩‍🚒 1 in 5 firefighter jobs cut since 2010

RT if you're with our firefighters 👊

1. Statistical nonsense (&dishonest) to use London salary of a firefighter for comparator with national average earnings (not salary) in wider economy.

2. Inflation has not been caused by wages in public or private sector. Wages generally have stagnated for over a decade.

Tory MP Edward Leigh claimed #expenses of £2,332 for heating last year and £2,474 the previous year.

Retweet if you think he should pay his own utility bills.

The cost of meeting the nurses' pay demand - £1.6bn 🏥

Cost of Sunak's bank tax giveaway - £7.3bn 💸

They have the money to give nurses a proper pay rise- they just don't want to.

RT if you back a real pay rise for our nurses 👊

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Just thinking about nursing salaries…

And the measly increase Govt are offering based on recommendations from the pay review body

It’s a shame Govt didn’t consult the same pay review body that recommended MP salaries increase by 28% since 2010.

It's not a staycation if you're not sleeping in your own house. You're literally going away otherwise.

A shout out and big thank you to all control operators that do such an important job in difficult circumstances.

"What were they thinking? Whatever it is, I hope they're not thinking of a UK-US bilateral trade agreement to make up for what they might lose."

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells the UK “don’t think you’re going to get a reward" for 'undermining' the Good Friday Agreement.
