1/5: Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, Chief Fire Officer & Prince William's homelessness advisor, has built her career on an inspirational "rags to riches" story: Homeless at 15, sleeping rough in Newport, selling Big Issue after family tragedy. But evidence shows major discrepancies. Let's unpack the homelessness claims.
A firefighter who was sacked for taking photos of a car accident victim's body and sharing them on WhatsApp has been jailed for 20 mnths.
Cameron Hancel sent the images alongside an "offensive and mocking commentary.” What is it with these men who do this? https://t.co/KjmvS2Ia8Y
NEW: Chief Fire Officer of Dorset & Wiltshire Fire Service Ben Ansell is retiring, stating it’s time for new leadership.
Last year we revealed allegations of sexual harassment within his service. He said there was “no problem” before a cultural review found otherwise.

A West Midlands firefighter has pleaded guilty to photographing a man who died in a car crash and sharing it with friends.
Cameron Hancel sent the image in March last year, a month after ITV News revealed allegations of firefighters photographing dead women at another service.
What "women sleeping their way to the top" truly means:
- Men withhold opportunities from women when there is no sex involved
- Men abuse their power to demand sex in exchange for opportunities
- Men override competence when sex is not on the table
Again, men are the problem.
Powerful speech by @FBUNWC Secretary Robyn Richardson at @TolpuddleFest addressing sexual harassment in the Fire & Rescue Service.
“Sexual harassment has been normalised”
'”Women too often afraid to speak out”
“Mandatory training is needed in the FRS”
#EndSexualHarassment
BREAKING: Home Affairs Committee concludes that the fire service is “institutionally misogynistic, racist and homophobic”.
In a damning letter to the Home Sec the chair @DianaJohnsonMP says the culture is “lamentable”.
Follows @itvnews investigations.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Service have confirmed that Councillor Knox is not seeking re-election at the local elections in May and is therefore standing down as Chair as of 7th May. She remains in post until then.
Two sources tell me that the Chair of Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Authority, Rebecca Knox, has decided to stand down from her role following last month's disastrous appearance before the Home Affairs Select Committee. She won't seek re-election.
