This week, we hosted an international summit of firefighting unions.

The EPSU Firefighters' Network is a vital forum to develop international links and solidarity on issues such as Decon, health and safety and climate action.

I attended the @fbunational.bsky.social Women’s Committee AGM in Cardiff this week.

Fantastic to see so many reps there, planning how more can be done to improve the fire service for women.

Plenty to do, but I’m glad I can use my role to support them in their important fights.

A significant development in the #FBUDECON campaign. From a sector in denial to this πŸ‘‡, the FBU can & should be proud of our work. The proof ofcourse will be in the implementation, we continue to monitor & engage closely #JoinAUnion

I was very pleased to attend this historic meeting with Gen Sec, Matt Wrack on behalf of @fbunational.bsky.social members. It presents huge opportunities for our profession. These things don't happen by accident, it is the result of yrs of hard work, campaigning & strategy by FBU Officials & members

Firefighters are on the frontlines of so many challenges, from wildfires to floods and everything in between. Today, we’re in London for the EPSU Firefighters’ Network meeting, hearing directly from them about what they need to stay safe while protecting all of us. 🌍πŸ”₯

And the list of countries under British bombs continues to grow, whilst our 'leaders' pay lipservice to ceasefires. Cut war, not wages
