For all FBU members,
I’m Steve Wright and I’m standing to be the next General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union.
We are at a critical time, we face many challenges both in the Fire and Rescue Service and within the Fire Brigades Union.
I have wide support from across the whole of the union, supported to bring about the change and leadership that will unite our union and advance the interests of every FBU member.
Please share this message as widely as possible to all members.
In unity
Steve Wright

@jet2tweets It's not good enough!
He was told he'd have to pay 90% of the holiday to bring it forward... and if he tried to rearrange after Sunday it'd be 100%
Disgusting, zero leeway.
A firefighter wants to attend the funeral of a fellow firefighter. All you want is money.
Disgusting behaviour from @jet2tweets
A firefighter colleague of mine called to try to rearrange a holiday he has booked in order to attend the funeral of one of our colleagues who passed away last week.
Zero compassion, zero empathy and zero respect.
No help whatsoever.
@jet2tweets Thanks for the awareness.
But is that it? You show no consideration for the content of the original post...
Blindly ignoring what I've said just to inform me of spam accounts.
Zero empathy. Callous customer service.
Having found out another former colleague & recently retired Firefighter has cancer this week.
The NEED for annual health monitoring plus monitoring & recording of exposures for all firefighters is a MUST if we are to make a real reduction in cutting deaths from Cancer in the UK
Fire services in England still don’t have a statutory duty and resources to plan and respond to floods, and our service has been cut and cut again since 2010.
Without improved funding, our fire service will continue to be dangerously overstretched.
@AdamT9372 on Sky this week.
🚨 NEW | The government has published its plans for the fire and rescue service.
They will not put a penny back into the fire service or deliver national standards on response times and crewing.
And some of them dangerous and ill-concived. [1/2]
Two retired senior police officers taking up the most senior roles in a neighbouring Fire & Rescue Services - @northantsfire & @Bucksfire
A worrying trend for Firefighters across the Uk
Police take overs and Direct Entry in the FRS quite rightly concerning all ranks in the FRS
🔥Join the fight for our future 🔥
On Wednesday 1 November, firefighters will come to Westminster for our national rally.
We will be unveiling The Firefighters' Manifesto to demand a resilient service with the resources it needs.
Contact your Brigade officials for more info.
Join the Rally tomorrow.
Demand more for the UK FRS, for Firefighters & for the public.
The need for investment and not cuts is made clear by the voice of firefighters and national statistics/data in the #FireFightersManifesto launching tomorrow.
"No firefighter should ever be put in this position.”
❌When fire engines are crewed with just three firefighters, they don't have the resources to enter a burning building and save lives.
Watch @FBUCambs calling for an end to this dangerous policy on @itvanglia👇📺
"PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool."
The PGMOL statement on the Luis Diaz disallowed goal. 👇
✊A real show of strength and solidarity today at the rally calling for Northamptonshire PFCC Mold's resignation.
We will continue to hold his feet to the fire.
Today, Stephen Mold faced outraged firefighters as he insisted on dragging out his disgraced tenure.
Here's why he must resign as Northamptonshire's police, fire and crime commissioner👇
