I presented to the Occupational Health APPG in Parliament today. This time not on the stats, but on how far behind other parts of the world the UK are in protecting #Firefighters- Govt, Employers, Chiefs & HSE must do more. It's been left to @fbunational alone for far to long
Left: Boris Johnson, "People lost loves ones before their time.. I was directly responsible for managing the crisis.. Whatever the failings of our handling the transmission of covid.. Brexit saved lives"
Middle: The Lancet, "The level of criminal incompetence exposed by recent witnesses to the covid inquiry.. has proven that many, if not most of the 230,000 deaths were preventable"
Right: In 2020 Dr June Raine, head of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency explains that the UK got the vaccine while still under EU rules, it had nothing to do with Brexit
Boris Johnson is an absolute disgrace. How many lives would have been saved if we had a Prime Minister who cared about the country more than he cared about his ego?
"Southern Water plans to pay out £275m in dividends despite rising debt pressures."
So @SouthernWater say they need to borrow £4bn and @ofwat is about to approve putting up customer bills by 44%, oh and they still managed to payout £275m in dividends. You're being had.

If UK news shows are going to give Boris Johnson a platform to spout his absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow those once in power to rewrite history.
If you agree RT this FACT CHECK
This is what we need in the UK.

The GS election schedule has now been agreed, and rightly members will be discussing this on branches and on social media.
To all union members: let's keep it respectful and united. We should welcome healthy debate and diverse viewpoints - let's embrace that in a comradely manner.
Together, we can shape a stronger future for all and set the right tone for this election and the future.
“We’re going to do the Environment Agency’s job for it."
@NickFerrariLBC has challenged @Feargal_Sharkey to test the toxicity of England’s rivers.
First up is the River Avon in Bristol…
"If I did nothing fuel duty would increase by 13% this month" - this is a fiction. He's just saying "I'm keeping fuel duty where it is not raising it."
The Chancellor decides fuel duty each time, the idea is its goes up if they don't do something, but they always do something. #Budget2024 #BudgetXplanations
