"I'm an above-knee amputee. I lost my leg to a congenital birth defect when I was about 2 years old. When I first joined, there were many questions about whether or not I could do all of the firefighting activities and whether it was even possible…
If the FBU leadership had been a bit less impulsive and not tried to bypass annual conference, firefighters might now have been £543 a year better off. Our latest blog. ⬇️ https://t.co/ohW9BhhbuU
Despite my love of MUFC nostalgia I don't think that sentiment should come into the decision-making regarding a new stadium or a revamp.
I'm sorry but I don't think that the opinions of current match going fans should be a major consideration.
For me, it's what is best for the next generation of United fans and the yet to be born United fans over the next 50+ years.
This is a legacy project that should last for the next 100 years. What will be best for future generations long after we are dead is the decision the club should go with.
@JamesCleverly From the man who shut 10 London fire stations scrapped 27 London fire engines and axed over a 1000 firefighters in the capital that led to a 40% increase in fire deaths in the capital city. We see you
It is no surprise to anyone that the majority of voters want better working conditions for themselves. We must deliver this and deliver it quickly.
I pledged to fight for your rights at work. I won’t shy away from my promises.
We can do this.✊
The response to this comment has been beyond nuts. 3 reminders from a Jewish person who has lectured on genocide prevention at Auschwitz where dozens of my mothers family were murdered:
1. @jeremycorbyn was not expelled from the Labour Party for antisemitism. He left the Labour Party after it had excluded him from running in the seat he has held for over 30 years, and which he has just won again - a seat with significant numbers of Jewish voters.
2. @jeremycorbyn doesn’t have an antisemitic bone in his body: He is a life-long antracist, much like my former boss, Nelson Mandela.
3. Abusing antisemitism in this mendacious manner undermines the very necessary battle against actual antisemitism, Islamophobia and all racism.
I sat in the public gallery at The House Of Commons, and watched and listened as Penny Mordaunt lied away my pension, meaning I’d pay more, work longer, and get less than I’d signed up for. Altering mine and my families future planning forever. I cannot state how happy I am👋
@JamesCleverly Hopefully we're rid of you today James. You'll slither off to a well paid job after all your brownnosing over the years. Awful vile politician I'm afraid, Boris pycophant, incompetent at LFB and as an MP. Do not continue as a politician please.
Unlike the national leadership, the London region of the FBU believes that members should be informed of the outcome of important decisions by the trade union regulator. ⬇️
@PennyMordaunt How dare you say 'protect' and 'pension' in the same sentence. YOU as fire minister with soppy @BrandonLewis slaughtered Firefighter pensions, destroying our lives, our plans with many not receiving what they signed up to and many that have retired not in receipt of full monies.
