Last week i joined trade unions to stand against the division being created in our country right now.
Following the tragic loss of three innocent children in Southport. My thoughts are with the families and all affected.
To see some now exploit this tragedy to spread division is horrifying.
We must unite, support our communities, and reject the fear and misinformation being spread.

Severe under resourcing and fragmentation in fire services across the UK have left firefighters stretched thin amidst rising wildfire risks.
From Scotland to Wales to NI, urgent national standards and strategies are overdue to protect our communities & firefighters.
Our union can be the driver of real change, we can be the ones that put the stake in the ground. We can give a clear lead by setting the tone for the entire labour movement. Make no mistake, our members want action. #JobsPayConditions
If UK firefighters were paid appropriately they’re wouldn’t be ballots for industrial action. We’re 3x more likely to get cancer, and dying 15 years earlier than the general public as confirmed by @UCLan recently released report.

We have spotted something during Simon Thompson’s car crash interview on the BBC this morning.
Having zoomed in, someone is in the room writing answers on a board for him.
Pack your bags, Thompson. It’s time to go.

Labour’s pledges will revolutionise the way mental health is viewed in this country.
We’ll guarantee treatment within a month, recruit 8,500 new staff, put a specialist in every school and a hub in every community.
“If this government lets profits rip, lets prices rip but tries to keep wages down, people will take action to look after their families – and I make them right.”
Eddie Dempsey of @RMTunion explains Britain’s wave of strikes.

The greatest risk communities face is the grossly negligent underfunding of the UK Fire & Rescue service
Over 11,500(21%)👩🏼🚒 cut since 2010
Let’s be clear, the risk of wildfires in this country has been recognised on the national risk register since 2013

Proud to have support from a former Deputy Prime Minister, someone who lived and breathed our movement and understands what solidarity between the Labour Party and workers means. 🌹
The @UKLabour sacking of @SamTarry for supporting working people on strike, against cuts to their jobs and pay, is another insult to the trade union movement. Quite frankly it would be laughable if it were not so serious. 1/3 #SamTarry
This is a wages crisis. Wages are flatlining while bills skyrocket. Working people deserve a proper pay rise. https://t.co/ObiV2OZrgS via @LabourUnionsUK
